AU2 - Riverina Paceway - Race 4

TUPELO (10) is proving costly having been beaten as a hot favourite in each of her three starts at this circuit since a spell but she hasn't been far away, going under by 2m last week. Draws on the second line but is race fit and capable of so can win with even luck. FARFALLA STRIDE (8) was midfield as favourite last start at Bathurst to follow a sound third when resuming from the back row at this venue. May need a bit of luck negotiating a wide starting position but is building in fitness. Leading hope. SPREAD THE FEAR (1) was down the track last time but that was from a wide barrier. Came from this draw when winning here prior so is much better served. STARSHINE LADY (9) hasn't raced since December but has a good fresh record and has been readied with three trials, winning the latest.
