Kilmore Race 4 - Kilmore Ford Trot
ALDEBARAN BUDDY (5) was a beaten favourite when midfield last week but had kicked off the campaign in good style, beaten 1.4m into second at Bendigo. Building in fitness so is worth another chance. ALDEBARAN MARCUS (4) did a good job for fourth in a higher-graded race last start at Maryborough, beaten 5 metres. Looks nicely placed and has the ability to take this out. KENNYWOULD (8) was good when he was forced to work but stuck on to place two back at Melton before a solid fifth last time out. Major player. MACHO MAORI (1) is aided by the ace draw and has claims off back-to-back placings from the second line last month.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Sky Lindy at Shepparton over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on February 3 at $2.25. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Midnite Muscle at Shepparton over 1690m in a NR up to 49 on February 10 at $3.80. Building in fitness and could break through.

Resumes. At the latest first-up run was well beaten after breaking at Shepparton on May 13. Has been in work for a little while but after a lengthy break may need the run.
