Maryborough Race 5 - Worlds Best Hoof Oil Trot
NIGHT FLIGHT (7) is in good form having placed in two of his last three starts. Came from the back row and finished third at his latest appearance at Ballarat, beaten 4.4 metres. Must overcome a very wide draw but with even luck he is good enough to take out a race like this. CHARLIE WALKER (9) had been racing consistently before scoring last week at Ballarat, getting home by 5 metres after leading. The back row draw presents a challenge but if things go his was he could make it consecutive wins. LOVE WHO (6) worked and faded last start but placed at Terang prior. At peak fitness now and won the only time he attempted this circuit and distance. ALLWATFUNJINGLES (5) is in the mix following a solid fifth at his most recent appearance at Ballarat.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr7) over 1710m at Ballarat, well beaten by Midnite Muscle (2:05.10) in NR 40 to 45 on February 19 at $71. Two runs back 9th (10m Fr3) over 2138m at Albion Park, well beaten by Milly An Eyre (2:43.30) in 3yo+ NR up to 45 on October 2 at $10. Strips fitter and from the ace draw is a solid top-three chance.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after showing early speed, behind Aetos Dynamis at Charlton over 1609m in a 0-1 WIN on February 16 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Midnite Muscle at Ballarat over 1710m in a NR 40 to 45 on February 19 at $23. Winning prospects.
