Swan Hill Picks

HIS ZEDNESS drawn ideally and won once this prep at Ararat nine runs back, has solid claims. LUNA CHARA won last start at Wangaratta and three of four wins have come from dry ground, don't treat lightly. SWEET BELLA coming off a win at St Arnaud and Neil Farley has had success aboard previously, place only. REAL INTRIGUE faded to finish four lengths off the winner last start at Yarra Valley and gets the blinkers back on, quinella.

BEEN OUR ANGEL first-up after 46 week spell, key chance. BLONDIE'S TORONADO first start and fitter for multiple trial runs, place claims. RIPPER placed when trialling at Avoca, chance to place. REDEMPTION TIME finished half a length back from the leader last start at Dunkeld and gets the blinkers back on, place best.

CHECKTHEMENU first start and has been trialling well in build-up to this prep, genuine contender. BREAKLESS amongst the placegetters last start running second at Swan Hill when fresh, cannot be ruled out. DECCAN ODYSSEY finished sixth at only start at Ballarat, each-way claims. ETOILE FILANTE finished seventh at only start at Traralgon, sneaky chance.

GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS placed last start at Warrnambool when resuming and faces a rise in distance, perfectly placed. TRACK PATCHER only just missed in driving finish at only start at Sportsbet-pakenham, quinella. VACILLATION has the speed to overcome drawing the widest barrier, strong place chance. YIASOU narrowly beaten when heavily backed last start at Mortlake and gets the blinkers back on, not the worst.

This is a wide open race. OLIVIA'S SCANDAL has placed three times at Swan Hill before and likely to race on the speed, commands respect. ROCKET BOY coming off a win at Broken Hill and has the speed to overcome an unfavourable draw, don't dismiss. TOSEN WARRIOR ran six lengths back from the winner last start at Geelong, dangerous. TARSHIN placed when unwanted in the betting last start at Ballarat and rates highly with Neil Farley retaining the ride, not without each-way claims.

CEEJAY on a six day back-up and drawn well, a winning chance. BAILE FERVOR last start winner to break maiden at Echuca on a soft track and likely to race on the speed, could upset. TATSURO placed last start at Wycheproof and two from four wins have been in the dry, don't treat lightly. DON'T TELL SHERIFF in the money last start running second at Broken Hill, place chance.

Not much between these. TOOKAY PETE ran three lengths back from the winner last start at Seymour and won once this prep at Wycheproof two runs back, marginal top pick. THE WAYFARER has the speed to overcome a very wide draw and placed in two of three at Swan Hill before, expect to be right up there. FROWNED made ground late to win last start at Mildura and two of four wins have come from dry ground, dangerous. ITALIAN INFORMANT let-up and has three placings from 12 runs this prep, don't treat lightly.
