Kilmore Race 9 - Picklebet "Get Your Pickle On" Trot
ZIPPIN PAST (8) did a great job for a Group 1 placing in the Vicbred Super Series 2F Final last start. Tackles older rivals her but won her only previous third up attempt so should be peaking now and drops to a distance where she owns a 50 per cent strike rate. DONA AMALIA (6) has galloped in her last two outings but had looked close to a win when recording back-to-back seconds prior. With her A-game she is a winning chance. CARTACALHA (5) disappointed last time but was racing consistently prior so could atone. BUCKLES FOR BERRY (4) broke and finished a long way back last start but was a winner here prior so is worth another chance.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr4) over 1690m at this track beaten 9 m by Kyvalley Misty (2:07.10) on September 17 at $4.60. At his previous start game effort when 2nd (Sr1) over 1690m at this track, beaten a head by Massif Central (2:09.70) on September 10 at $4. Capable of going a lot better.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr7) over 1720m at Melton, beaten 55 m by Majaro Girl (2:07.00) on September 18 at $51. Showed ability the run before when she won by a head when quickly away, (Fr3) at this track (2:49.00) beating African Gala in on September 10 at $5.50 at the bell was leading 1.03. Can make her presence felt.

Gave plenty of ground last start when well beaten into seventh behind Majestic Charma at Cranbourne over 1609m on September 13 at $6. Raced better the start before that with a good run when 2nd (Sr1) over 1609m at Cranbourne was 4th-7.4 at the bell, beaten 1.4 m by Miss Kommunication (2:01.40) on September 6 at $3.10. Can improve sharply.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 8th (Sr3) over 1690m at Maryborough, beaten 40 m by Rastamon (2:05.20) on August 24 at $4.33. The start before was well back in the run when 7th (Fr7) over 1690m at this track beaten 50 m by Distant Sun (2:04.40) on July 30 at $10. Capable of bouncing back.

Comes here second-up after four weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when surrendered the lead and finished 7th (Fr2) over 2200m after showing early pace at Ballarat, beaten 35 m by Zarski (2:47.10) on August 26 at $51. Others preferred.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after a quick start, behind Bumper Crop at Melton over 2240m in a 2yo on September 4 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Kyvalley Dixon at Melton over 2240m in a 2yo G1 on September 12 at $26. Last-start Group 1 placegetter who can beat the older rivals.
