Boort Race 5 - Hon Peter Walsh Mp Boort Trotting Cup

MAESTRO (2) finished fourth last start, beaten 11 metres at Maryborough over 2190m. It doesn't get any easier but he is capable of a big performance. FROSTY GIRL NZ (3) went back last start and despite looming up before they cornered was left with too much to do when seventh, beaten 165 metres, at Maryborough over 2690m a month ago. Kept up to the mark with a subsequent placing at the trials. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. JOHNS BOY NZ (6) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 2570m at Ararat. EL CONQUEROR NZ (4) has place prospects following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 2660m at Kilmore.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr6) over 2190m at Maryborough, at the bell was 6th-11.4 beaten 11 m by Charleston Avenue (2:45.00) in NR 57 to 66 on February 11 at $15. Before that, a game effort when 2nd (10m Fr1) over 2190m at Maryborough, at the bell was 2nd-1.4 beaten a nose by Rubys Dream (2:47.70) in NR 55 or better on February 4 at $14. Looks very hard to beat.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (20m Fr1) over 2690m at Maryborough, well beaten by Romantic Nina (3:25.80) in No NR on January 28 at $4.80. Showed ability the race before when she came from midfield and won by 2.5 m (40m Fr1) at Maryborough (2:50.30) beating Ataboy Charlie in No NR on January 12 at $3. Rates highly. Can make amends.

Last start 6th (20m Fr1) over 2660m at Kilmore, at the bell was 3rd-4.89 beaten 18 m by Im Above The Law (3:26.70) in NR 55 or better on February 12 at $7.50. At the run before then settled down to finish eighth over 2150m at Bendigo last time out. Better than the last few runs suggest and he can improve sharply.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts. Placed last start 2nd (FT Fr3) over 2660m at Kilmore was 2nd-4.12 at the bell, beaten 2.25 m by Im Above The Law (3:26.70) in NR 55 or better on February 12 at $16. Before that surrendered the lead and finished 3rd (FT Fr1) over 2190m at Maryborough, at the bell was 3rd-5.8 beaten 4.5 m by Rubys Dream (2:47.70) in NR 55 or better on February 4 at $12. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
