Maryborough Race 4 - Vale Graham Eeles Trot
NEDZA THRILLER (6) finished in the money at Charlton two starts back then did a good job again at his latest appearance over 1710m at at Ballarat, beaten 4.5 metres into second after being handy all the way. Big chance based on those recent outings. CASTLES IN THE SKY (7) worked to get to the lead and fought on well but found a couple better last time out when resuming over 1700m at Horsham, beaten 8 metres. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating once more. ALLWATFUNJINGLES (10) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 2180m at Kilmore. FLING IT RAINBOW (9) disappointed last time when sixth over 1690m at Kilmore. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Didn't do much last time out, 5th (Fr5) over 2180m at Kilmore was 2nd-3.1 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Money Talks (2:49.00) on September 30 at $11. Before that was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr4) over 2180m at Kilmore, at the bell was 7th-10.31 beaten 17 m by Suzys Dream (2:47.00) on September 24 at $21. Hard to have on those efforts.

Resuming after a layoff of ten weeks. Well beaten at the end of her last preparation when tenth at very big odds behind Straight To Thetop. Recent trials will help bring her on but she will strip fitter next time.

Solid run when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind Boutika at Charlton over 2100m on September 21 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Chillhunnybunny at Ballarat over 1710m on October 1 at $3.10. One of the primary contenders.

Last start was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Kalarney Prince at Kilmore over 2180m on October 8 at $5. Performed better the start before with a good run when 3rd (Fr2) over 2240m at Melton was 6th-8.79 at the bell, beaten 2.25 m by Met With A Shrug (2:50.80) on October 2 at $8. Big chance on his best form.
