Winton Race 8 - RICKY MURRELL MEMORIAL MOBILE PACE
CHICAGO SKY (8) was once again right in the mix last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. This doesn't look as hard so she is sure to prove tough to beat again. ALWAYS BE BATMAN (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 5 metres from the winner in third over 2400m at this track. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. BLAZE LIGHTENING (1) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 2400m at this track four days ago. NEK DELIGHT (4) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway last time out.
