Young Race 7 - Poppas Fudge Factory 3yo Pace
BETTORBYTHESEA (6) finished sixth last start over 2040m at Parkes, beaten 11 metres, after a good third at Parkes the run prior. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. SNIPERS FIRE (9) found form and finished in the money two runs ago then came back to earth when she broke and finished fifth last start over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, coming home 5.5 metres from the winner. Hard to know where she gets from this slightly awkward draw. Needs to get it right to beat this field but she is up to the job. OUR ULTIMATE ELLA (3) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1770m at Albury last time out. Has top-three claims. DIVA BON VIVA (8) is worth some thought in this line-up despite her last-start eighth over 1730m at Bathurst on August 5.

Showed a glimmer of form last start 3rd (Fr1) over 1730m after showing early pace at Bathurst, beaten 7 m by Cheval Tiger (2:06.50) on August 12 at $81. But The run before was well beaten into fifth after showing early speed, behind Cohen The Red at Bathurst over 1730m in a 3yo on August 5 at $81. Hard to have.
