Kilmore Race 3 - Kilmore Ford Trot
Manners let DEEP LOVE NZ (10) down when he started favourite last start but he has placed in a trial at Melton since. Fourth at Listed level two back and scored-back-to-back wins earlier in the campaign. Tricky draw but won his lone attempt at this distance and is good enough to win if he gets it right. MIDNITE MUSCLE (2) made it three placings in a row when he made up plenty of ground but found one better at Maryborough last time out. Looks close to a win and should have no excuses from this lower draw. SAMMY HALLER (5) added to his good form with a respectable second from the back row at his most recent appearance and he won at Melton the last time time he started on this line. ATTRACTED (1) has come from back row draws at his last couple but placed here three back and draws to advantage.

Two back was well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind The Italian Dream at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR 46 to 51 on May 6 at $31. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second after being driven well back, after showing early speed, behind Ai Sedhai at Maryborough over 1690m in a NR up to 50 on May 11 at $4.20. In fine form. Going well and is a leading contender from a good draw.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Banos at Shepparton over 2190m in a 0-2 LTW on May 3 at $15. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Voldagha at Shepparton over 1690m in a 0-2 WINs on May 12 at $3.50. Can continue the good form.

Last start was well beaten after breaking at this track on May 7. Before that, 4th (Fr5) over 1730m after showing early pace at Bathurst was leading by 2.5 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Notanotha Naughty (2:06.40) in 3yo LR No NR on March 28 at $3.30. Talented and can win with manners.
