Kilmore Race 1 - Tellurian Wines Pace
VERY TEMPTING (10) came from this barrier when a beaten favourite last start at Melton but was far from disgraced when 4.7 metres from the winner. Placed in three of his previous four outings so has looked close to a win for a while. Could break through with even luck. ESPERANZA (9) came from this row for a good second despite working at Ballarat two starts back. A similar performance would stack up well here. DANCIN WITH ELVIS (1) has been getting closer to the winner with each start of late, coming from this barrier last time out for a 2m second at Ararat. Contender. SHEZABLUECHIP (11) is in contention if things go her way from the back line.

Two back was beaten by 10 m finishing fourth after a quick start, behind Celestial Nebulae at Charlton over 2100m on August 17 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Doctor Go Joh at Ararat over 1790m on August 23 at $4.60. Has the inside and is a winning hope.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 9th (Fr3) over 2240m after showing early speed at Melton, beaten 13 m by Allheartnoheight (2:45.50) on August 21 at $7. At the previous start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr6) over 1710m at Ballarat, at the bell was 4th-6.38 beaten 6 m by Livermere (2:06.00) on August 5 at $4.80. Expecting a much better run this time.
