Maryborough Race 7 - Join Your Local Carisbrook Lions Club Pace
MUSELET (4) made it back to back seconds when finishing 2 metres from the winner at Terang last week. Has the hoof on the till and could take this out. HAVADASH JOH (3) put the writing on the wall when runner-up from this barrier last start. Looks nicely placed and is a big chance to go one better. KIMCHI (2) produced another good performance last week when he chased well for third at this venue, his third successive placing since coming from the back row to win at Ballarat. Has the benefit of another good draw. Leading hope. BYRNESIDE BOOM (5) hasn't raced for ten weeks but was readied with a trial. Can open this campaign with a positive effort.

Two back was well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Lord Verde at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR up to 42 on January 21 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Shaq at this track over 1690m in a NR up to 49 on January 28 at $13. Has a low draw and should perform well again.
