Maryborough Race 9 - Redpath Tyre & Battery Service Pace
JUSTLIKEDAVE (7) is racing well with six top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at Cranbourne over 2080m. This should be an easier assignment so he is a major player again. TORQUE IN HEAVEN (6) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last four starts including a second most recently at Horsham over 2200m. Has the talent to trouble this line-up. REGAL ROCK NZ (4) must be considered after he finished third over 1710m at Ballarat a week-and-a-half ago. TED BEAR (10) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Ballarat over 1710m.

Two runs back won by 13 m when quickly away, (Fr7) at Riverina Paceway (2:07.40) beating Bonjorge in on September 22 at $3.20 at the bell was leading 4.6. Decent effort last start. Drawn to advantage and expected to go well again.

Fair run when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Rosberg at Melton over 1720m on September 25 at $1.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Roblen Demon at Cranbourne over 2080m on October 4 at $1.85. Will give a good account.
