Echuca Race 1 - Hygain Racetorque Mdn Plate
SIHAYA (9) found the line nicely on debut when finishing second over 1200m on the Pakenham synthetic course, and she will relish an extra 200m here. This field is not as deep, and with the natural improvement that is expected, she can go one better. INTERROGATE (3) was doing his best work late fresh up at Kilmore over 1200m, and he will have the blinkers back on for the step up to 1400m. Top 3 claims. CHALLENGING (1) has had some gear changes since overdoing it front at Ballarat 10 days ag. He will find this easier, and if he can settle better in the run, then he is worth including in all top 4 combos. DIMACHAERUS (2) has been to a jump-out since needing his resuming run at Bendigo nearly a month ago. The winkers will replace the blinkers, and even from a wide gate, he can figure in the finish. PLATINUM RUSH (8) has been holding her form well enough, and with the aid of a good gate, she is an each-way threat again.
