Maryborough Race 1 - Mcphersons Printing Group Trot
SHINELIKETHESUN (8) finished second when resuming last start despite copping a check and galloping, beaten 6 metres over 2100m at Geelong. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Won't find this any harder and she can take this out. MINNIE MIA (4) is better than her last-start run when finishing seventh over 1609m at Geelong would suggest. Worth another chance.. THE TROUT COD (2) broke through last time out over 2240m at Melton. Must be included with the confidence up.

Last start 10th (Fr1) over 1755m at Echuca well beaten by Jilliby Topgun (2:14.40) on September 22 at $16. Two runs back 3rd (Fr3) over 1750m at Swan Hill, at the bell was 2nd-3.8 beaten 16 m by Connies President (2:12.10) on September 8 at $11. Will not find this easy. Not going well enough.

Resumes. At the latest first-up run was well back in the run when 7th (Fr5) over 2190m at this track, beaten 19 m by Shonee (2:48.90) in 3yo+ on June 17 at $26. Might need some time.

Recent form below what she is capable of. Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at Geelong was 7th-17.01 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Beautiful Sunrise (2:00.20) on October 16 at $9. The start before was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr6) over 2240m at Melton well beaten by Jilliby Aura (2:46.70) in 3yo on September 4 at $81. Can do a lot better in this suitable contest.

Resuming after five months off the scene. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into fourth behind Te Amo at Kilmore over 1690m on June 4 at $14. Has plenty of upside and is sure to measure up.
