AU1 - Riverina Paceway - Race 9

SHADES OF MIKI (1) will find this easier than his latest appearance at Menangle and was good in a higher-graded race here prior, coming from the back row to place. Likely to get all the favours from the ace draw and looks well placed GEM N EM (9) was down the track when tackling a good line-up of mares in the city last time but had put together a string of wins and placings prior, coming from this barrier two score two back at Bathurst. Can trail the top pick early and strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance. KEAYANG DREAMGIRL (8) draws wide but is in fine from with two successive wins to her name, most recently at Leeton a week-and-a-half ago. LONGTAN VIPER (10) was beaten only 2.2m when runner-up from this row at Shepparton last time out and scored back-to-back Warragul wins last month. Respect.
