Young Race 1 - Donges Iga Pace
CHARLOTTES DIAMOND (2) finished fourth last start, beaten 15 metres at Bathurst over 1730m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Finds a suitable assignment and will be a major force. SMOOTH CHAKRA (1) settled close to the pace but didn't find enough in the end and could only manage tenth last start over 1730m at Bathurst, that effort coming after a minor placing at Parkes the run before. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Tackles a similar assignment and she can bounce back straight away. CHASIN YOU (4) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 2120m at Dubbo nine days ago. Top-three prospect on best figures. BETS ON HEAVEN (6) is worth some thought despite his last-start tenth over 1740m at Riverina Paceway on March 6. Can bounce back.

Last start was tenth after showing early speed, behind Furious Bart at Bathurst over 1730m in a MAIDEN on March 11 at $7. Raced better the start before that with a good run when 3rd (Sr3) over 1660m at Parkes, beaten 10 m by Doshi (2:04.30) in 0-1 WIN on February 27 at $3.20. Well drawn and expected to bounce back.

Well-beaten 9 days ago at Canberra over 1770m, and two back was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 1635m at Temora beaten 20 m by Ceebee (2:02.50) in 3yo MAIDEN on March 3 at $126. This looks a far sterner test.

Last start 8th (Sr1) over 2120m at Dubbo, beaten 30 m by Mammals Jewel (2:37.70) in MAIDEN on March 15 at $19. At his previous start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr5) over 1660m after racing wide at Parkes, at the bell was 5th-15 beaten 9 m by Gee Young (2:08.50) in MAIDEN on March 6 at $13. Big chance to atone.
