Maryborough Race 3 - Redpath Tyre And Battery Service Trot
POPPY POPSTAR (2) was out of the money two runs back at Bendigo then was at her best last start to score by 2 metres over 2150m at the same circuit. Has the benefit of a good draw. Her last-start form is good enough to put her right in the finish. AGAINST THE BRIDLE (7) continued the solid form after a minor placing at Bendigo two starts ago when second last time out after he led and battled on well at Bendigo over 2150m. Must overcome a very wide draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can give this a mighty shake. KAMARAN (6) finished 11th two runs ago then broke and finished a distant last over 2190m at this track at the latest appearance. Won't find this any harder and he can bounce back. CHILLHUNNYBUNNY (3) is in the mix following a respectable third at her most recent appearance over 1710m at Ballarat.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run 4th (Sr1) over 1609m at Geelong beaten 10 m by Fling It Rainbow (1:59.50) in NR up to 49 on December 6 2024 at $11. Might need this run and others rate better.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after showing early speed, behind Golden Skies at Ballarat over 1710m in a NR up to 50 M on February 19 at $81. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Night Flight at Ballarat over 1710m in a 0-1 WIN on March 5 at $71. Rates highly and is a leading player.

Resumes. At the latest first-up run surrendered the lead and finished 3rd (Fr5) over 2200m after showing early pace at Ballarat beaten 4 m by Mont Sally (2:47.20) in NR up to 49 on September 19 2024 at $126. Recent trials will help bring him on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.

Last start 10th (Sr3) over 2190m after racing wide at this track well beaten by Allwatfunjingles (2:47.80) in NR 40 to 45 on February 25 at $4.80. At the start before 11th (Fr1) over 2190m at Shepparton, well beaten by With Aplomb (2:44.70) in NR up to 52 on January 6 at $101. One of the contenders if at his best.

Solid performance when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind Midnite Muscle at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR 42 to 47 on March 4 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Poppy Popstar at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR 40 to 45 on March 11 at $9.50. Sure to feature.
