Goulburn Race 10

Mark Hughes Foundation

Stake: $2,840

YOGEN BALE (2) made light work of a wide draw last time with a strong early sectional and clocking 22.15 in a 3.5 lengths win at Maitland over 400m. Good beginner aided by a nice draw. Can measure up again. SOVEREIGN STATE (6) goes very well at the course and distance with four wins and a placing from eight starts. In the money last time at this track (20.06) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 3.5 lengths second. Looks a key chance on best figures. TAW COMMANDER (7) is an accomplished sprinter with a great record at the short dashes. Kept coming to finish fourth over 350m at this track (20.39) latest in a Grade 4/5. Strike rate this course and distance strong having won five of nine tries. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from an outside draw. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. BANJO'S EXPRESS (8) will need to run right up to last start to feature again.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (31.02) over 525m at Wagga. Aided by the inside draw but looks tested this line up.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Maitland over 400m in 22.15 last start, beating Furious. Has clocked a scorching 19.51 here at this trip. Leading player.

Won two starts back at Temora over 330m in 18.88. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 320m at Richmond at Grade 4/5 level. Others hold stronger claims.

Won at this track over 350m two starts back but then was a little disappointing last start, fading at the end of 400m at Maitland. Hard to entertain this time.

Missed the frame latest (20.39) when fourth over 350m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Has three wins and four placings from 13 starts from the draw. Looks one of the chances.
