West Wyalong Race 9 - Doug White 90th Birthday Pace
SWEET DREAMS NZ (10) resumes after great success last prep, winning on three occasions and culminating in a ninth over 2300m at Menangle on August 1. Not drawn to best so may need a 10/10 drive. Sure to prove hard to beat on her return. ISLAND YANKEE (1) had about the money in recent times before getting the job done at his latest appearance over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, scoring by 3.5 metres after being on the pace throughout. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Taking on a better line-up this time but he good enough to play a major role. FAKISTRA (3) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 2260m at Bathurst nine days ago. WHEN TO WALKAWAY (2) finished just a head away over 1770m at Canberra last start. Strips fitter third-up and can improve.

Racing consistently. Last start won by 3.5 m as favourite (Fr4) at Riverina Paceway (2:02.30) beating Set Play in on October 4 at $1.45 at the bell was leading 3.5. Back on track and is assisted by an inside draw.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Bettes Blue Violet at Canberra over 1770m last start. Before that was beaten 1.4 metres fourth again at Canberra over 2170m same class on October 6. Has the same draw and is a strong contender again.

Fair performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Babling Babling at Bathurst over 1730m on September 30 at $1.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Firestorm Red at Bathurst over 2260m on October 9 at $4.33. One of the primary contenders.

Last start failed to make any headway until the straight; raced back and made ground from the turn; won by 2 m when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at Riverina Paceway (2:46.30) beating Kristysgirl in on October 9 at $51 at the bell was 8th-12.7. Can make it back-to-back wins.

Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Sr3) over 1660m at Parkes was 7th-18 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Maryville Alfie (2:02.60) on October 13 at $11. Before that was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr6) over 2260m at Bathurst, beaten 21 m by Shaun Shannon (2:46.70) on September 30 at $14. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.
