Swan Hill Race 4

Commercial Hotel Swan Hill Vobis Gold Elvstroem Classic

Stake: $135,000

IMPENDING WAR (1) is another decent winning hope for the potent McDougall-Hayes linkage. The colt prepared well and on debut was much too good at Wodonga in this grade. He will have taken fitness and learning, and maps to get every chance. MISS ELLANEOUS (5) improved at her second race start, narrowly beaten from the front in a Ballarat Maiden. That stacks up, and she's jumped out since. Just has to run out the longer sprint to feature. SILVASISTA (8) debuts for a sharp yard, and her jump-outs have been good. 20% stable striker Coffey sticks aboard from the latest, and a bold run is likely. FLYING DONE (3) debuts and Yendall rides, and he's been aboard his most recent jump-outs. Draws inside, and he's likely to race well.

Comments

Claiming his maiden victory on debut; favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2 len at Wodonga 2yo Hcp May 24 over 1200m in soft going defeating Brenlyn's Legacy with 58kg at $1.85. Better for the run and can go on with it.

Third race start today. At debut, 6th of 9 at Warrnambool V Gold Strike on April 29 over 1000m, slow going 3 len behind Mrs Iglesia carrying 57kg at $14. Second-up tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 10 at Ballarat 2yo Mdn-Sw on May 25 over 1000m, slow going long-neck behind Demarcate carrying 56kg at $8.50. Expected to be very competitive.
