Kilmore Race 4 - Bill Harding Memorial (Bm56)
MANCHEGO (2) started a prohibitive favourite last start at Kyneton and looked to have his chance but had to settle for second. Was noted to be lame, though, which is a fair excuse, so prepared to give another chance. LAGUNANINI (9) did little first-up, but attracted serious support in a race at Ballarat last Friday that did not end up going ahead, so that suggests there's a bit of confidence she's ready to improve. JAPANESE MOKA (4) broke through for his maiden win over 1200m at Bairnsdale last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. GOLDEN PULSE (6) hasn't done much since his debut win but gets to 1200m for the first time, which might bring improvement.

Comes off a 31 day let-up. Most recently got back early 8th of 12 in a Bm56 at Tatura on September 29 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Simply Luscious carrying 61kg at $21. The start before that 3rd of 8 in a Bm56 at Wodonga on September 15 over 1100m, 4 len behind Forever With Ned carrying 61kg at $15. This is no easier and he needs to lift.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 8 in a Cg&E Bm56 at Kyneton on October 20 over 1218m, 0.5 len behind Rattle'n'roll with 61kg at $1.50. The race before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2 len in a 0 - 56 at Echuca on September 19 over 1209m defeating Hidden Witness carrying 59kg at $2.35. Beaten at short-odds last start but can bounce back here.

Raced two times to date. When well in the market at debut, sat on the pace when 2nd of 9 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Hamilton on September 14 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.3 len behind High Falls with 58kg at $2.80. Last start won by 2.5 len in a Mdn-Sw at Bairnsdale on October 12 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Castelli In Aria carrying 57kg at $2.80. Well placed and sure to be in the finish.

Most recently 5th of 12 in a Bm56 at Echuca on October 19 over 1200m, 1.2 len behind Shalailed with 60kg at $19. The race before that 2nd in a small field in a Pic-Cup at Lockhart on October 2 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Roullottie with 69.5kg at $1.80. Has ability but looks tested in this line-up.

Third-up today. First-up sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 9 in a Cl1 at Bendigo on August 26 over 1100m, on heavy track; 14 len behind Col Klink carrying 57kg at $13. Second run from a spell 6th of 12 in a Bm56 at Tatura on September 29 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Simply Luscious with 60kg at $11. Solid top-three prospects.

Second-up. First-up after six months 6th of 9 in a Cl1 at this track on September 28 over 1100m, 6 len behind Frosted In Time with 56kg at $4.80. Previously second-up 10th of 12 in a The Showdown at Caulfield on March 14 over 1200m, 8 len behind Big Wigs with 56kg at $9.50. Attracted support in a race that didn't go ahead last week, so might be ready to improve.
