No.5 HONORABLE MENTION – Blaike McDougall (Barrier 7)
HONORABLE MENTION heads to Echuca today where he will contest a 1412m BM58. He has drawn gate seven and Blaike McDougall will take the ride.
HONORABLE MENTION looks set to strike now third up. He dropped back to BM58 grade at Swan Hill and had absolutely no luck up the straight – with clean air he would’ve gone close to winning. Tactics will be interesting here; he is capable of settling more forward in the run and with a couple of leaders in the race the field looks set to break up and with a long run into the bend he could get in one-off the fence, just behind the speed.
Scratchings has thinned this race out significantly and we do look the horse to beat despite the impost of weight he will carry. ATOMIC SELFIE does look the only danger but our jockey here will only be a benefit us and with even luck he should be going very close here.
