Kilmore Race 2 - Barry Alford Memorial Trot
OX KNOX (5) is back from a break of nine weeks and looks to be right up to the mark following a recent trial win. Will have plenty of admirers. DONA AMALIA (7) has been close to the mark of late and again performed impressively at the most recent appearance, making up plenty of ground but finding one better over 1690m at Shepparton. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she good enough to play a major role. KYVALLEY JAGGER (9) is the next best after finishing third over 2100m at Geelong last time out. KISS AT MIDNIGHT (8) did a good job to finish in the minor placings two runs back then things went sour last time when she broke and finished a long way back in seventh over 2080m at Cranbourne. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. Meets a similar line up so if she behaves a big run is likely.

Two back was well beaten into fourth despite hanging in on scoring up, behind Met With A Shrug at this track over 2180m on July 8 at $3.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Kimberleys Tree at Shepparton over 1690m on July 14 at $21. Drawn to advantage and among the chances again.

Last start was well beaten into seventh after a quick start, behind Call Me Jack at Cranbourne over 2080m on July 19 at $5. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 2nd (Fr3) over 2240m after showing early pace at Melton was 3rd-4.8 at the bell, beaten 2.5 m by Champagne Gemma (2:48.00) on July 10 at $8. Can improve sharply without surprising.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 2240m at Melton beaten 20 m by Artigas (2:46.10) on June 13 at $19. Before that 6th (Fr6) over 2100m after showing early speed and racing wide at Geelong beaten 25 m by Carla Pixie (2:36.20) on June 5 at $10. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Showed ability the race before when he won by 1.1 m after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Geelong (2:39.40) beating Night Flight in on July 17 at $6.50 at the bell was leading 3.82. Better than the last run and can improve sharply.
