Inverell Race 8 - Inverell Ford (Bm82)
PRIDE TO FOLLOW (1) comes out of a strong rating race after she showed good early speed from an outside draw before fading to finish fourth to Wanaruah over 1100m at Scone last Saturday. Extra trip in her favour and expected to bounce back. WANDA RIVER (6) tough gelding who will find this more to his liking. Drifted back and never got into the contest when tenth to Formal Display over 1400m in the Tamworth Cup. Tricky map today and not without each-way prospects. DIS IS HEAVEN (3) was in need of the run in the heavy going when he faded in the straight to run sixth over 1000m at Eagle Farm. Yet to win past 1100m and gets his chance from a good gate in this easier contest. BJORN IRONSIDE (9) returns from let-up. Snagged back from the draw and never looked a chance when tenth over 1007m at Taree. Can race closer today and represents good each-way value.

Racing well recently. Most recently crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 4th of 13 at Scone Bm78 on May 16 over 1100m, 1.75 len behind Wanaruah carrying 54.5kg at $7.50. The start before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.3 len at Tamworth Open April 24 over 1200m defeating Hellova Nature carrying 55kg at $2.35. Fitter again and can return to winning form.

Dual acceptor. Most recently 6th of 9 at Eagle Farm Bm78 on May 2 over 1000m, in the wet; 4.5 len behind Esjay carrying 54kg at $51. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Doomben Cg&E Bm78 on March 28 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Bundella with 54.5kg at $51. Rates highly here and no shock to see him take this out.

Dual acceptor. Resuming after a break of ten weeks. Finished off last campaign when last of 14 at Armidale Armidale Cup 94 March 13 over 1400m, soft track; 17 len behind Uzziah carrying 55kg at $61. Previously first up; third of 8 at Grafton Return Bm82 January 25 over 1048m, 3 len behind Royal Commodore with 55kg at $14. Doubt he will have much to offer first up.
