A BUSY THURSDAY AHEAD AT ECHUCA

Four chances for us to add to our seasonal tally with Electrifying Lady, Buffalo Bill, Anything But and Gottaluvtrucks at Echuca on Thursday.

Electrifying Lady is the first to go in race two, the Fillies and Mares Maiden Plate over 1600m with Michael Poy to ride.

The daughter of Zoustar finished fourth last start over 1400m at Wangaratta and Mike Moroney

“She’s drawn nicely in barrier four but there is a bit of form in the race,” Moroney said.

“I think she’s been looking for the mile but she’s still got some physical improvement to come and this race today might just see her out for the preparation.

“She’s well in herself and the race today will tell us more about where she is at.”

Buffalo Bill (pictured) runs in race five, the Benchmark 58 Handicap over 2100m and will jump from barrier six under Jake Noonan.

“He’s back in class and up to a distance that will suit him better,” Moroney said.

“Jake knows the horse and after two runs this time in I do think he’s ready to run well, despite having a bit of weight to carry.

“The weight is a bit of a concern however, the drop in class and getting out in distance should suit the horse and I’m expecting him to be hard to beat.”

Anything But runs for the first time this preparation in race seven, the Benchmark 64 Handicap over 1400m from barrier one.

“I’m really happy with him and his last jumpout was pleasing,” Moroney said.

The draw is a slight worry as he will need to jump cleanly, especially around Echuca. If he can get away with them then I think he’s showing us enough to say he can be in the finish.”

Gottaluvtrucks rounds out the day in the last race, a Benchmark 64 Handicap over 1200m with Jake Noonan to ride from barrier six.

It is the first start this preparation for the son of Camelot

“It looks a handy enough race and it’s a good starting point for him,” Moroney said.

“The trip is likely to be too short for him but he does have talent and if they take off hard I’d think he can settle off them midfield and then gets his chance.

“If he can get the right run and a bit of luck than I think he is talented enough to win.”
