Maryborough Race 6 - Vsta Graeme Johannesen Memorial Trot
SONNYBOY (9) was rewarded for his consistency last start when he found the lead and did well to go on and score by 13 metres at this track over 2190m. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. KYVALLEY MISTY (5) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 2190m at this track, finishing second and just 13 metres from the winner. Meets a similar line up and she is a strong winning hope. ROBERT JOHN (11) last appeared when third over 2180m at Terang three-and-a-half months ago. Keep an eye out for positive market movement. NEDZA THRILLER (6) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good win over 1690m at this track two runs back.

Last start 4th (Fr1) over 1690m after showing early pace at Shepparton was 2nd-0.13 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Suzys Dream (2:09.20) on October 20 at $8. Before that, surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr1) over 1690m after showing early pace at Kilmore beaten 21 m by Zippin Past (2:07.30) on September 24 at $41. Good signs last start and this looks a suitable contest.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten Melton over 2240m, 7 days ago before that 6th (FT) over 2190m after showing early speed at Shepparton was leading by 0.26 at the bell, beaten 15 m by Izarra (2:51.60) on October 13 at $13. Draws for a better showing.

Failed to impress last start; 10th (Fr3) over 2190m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 24 m by The Chook (2:46.20) on October 12 at $16. Showed ability the outing before when she tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; posted a big 4.5 m win when quickly away, (Fr5) at Ballarat (2:08.80) beating Nedza Thriller in on October 1 at $8 at the bell was 2nd-1.73.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind Met With A Shrug at Melton over 2240m on October 2 at $3.40. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Sonnyboy at this track over 2190m on October 25 at $5. Among the leading chances again.

Hard to fault of late. Last start posted a big 13 m win as favourite (Fr3) at this track (2:50.40) beating Kyvalley Misty in on October 25 at $2.40 at the bell was leading 4.3. Rates highly and can continue the winning form.

Well beaten last start by Sonnyboy, a rival who he faces again; was restrained, when 45 metres fifth at this track over 2190m in a race on October 25. Others make more appeal.
