Maryborough Race 1 - Mcphersons Printing Group Trot
PLAYA DEL CARMEN (2) went back last start then worked home in good style to finish just 9 metres from the winner in second at Bendigo over 2150m to make it three minor placings in a row. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a comparable field and she can take care of this line-up. BILLY ZIPPIN (11) was out of the money two runs ago then broke and finished fourth last start over 2150m at Bendigo, coming home 15 metres from the winner. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point. Only needs to get things right to be in contention. BROWN EYED KATE (3) is better than her last-start eighth over 2570m at Ararat. Each-way chance. ALDEBARAN MAVERICK (10) was out of the money two runs ago then broke and finished ninth last start over 2150m at Bendigo, coming home 35 metres from the winner. Won't find this any harder and he can bounce back.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Christmas Babe at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR up to 39 on March 11 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Always Skye High at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR up to 37 on March 18 at $14. Expected to play a major role.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start broke in score up and was out of position at the start 9th (Fr5) over 2150m at Bendigo, beaten 35 m by Always Skye High (2:44.90) in NR up to 37 on March 18 at $12. The start before 9th (Sr4) over 1650m at Bendigo beaten 21 m by Christmas Babe (2:05.10) in NR up to 39 on March 11 at $41. Anticipate a far better run this time.
