Maryborough Race 7

Vsta Stan Lythgo Memorial Trot

Prize Money: $4,000

OFF YOUR FACESKI (13) settled close to the pace and finished too well to take out a 1690m race at this track last start, a deserved win on the back of some solid recent performances. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point. That latest effort is good enough to put him right in the finish. FRANKYTHEFRENCHMAN (8) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved his success last start, scoring by 4 metres over 2150m at Bendigo. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. Finds a suitable assignment and will be a major force once more. POPPY POPSTAR (6) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 2190m. Must be included. INSPIRE (3) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw.

Looks well placed in this tougher race, but he was impressive winning two starts back [-+] won by 1.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Bendigo (2:44.00) beating Robert John in NR up to 45 on October 15 at $11 at the bell was leading 4.33. Goes close.

Meets Inspire again; was restrained, when 19 metres eighth at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR up to 45 race on October 15. This looks a far sterner task.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won by 4 m (Fr6) at Bendigo (2:44.10) beating The Night Queen in NR up to 45 on October 22 at $4.80 at the bell was 4th-6.16. In form and sure to prove very hard to beat.

Improved last start with a good run despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 2190m at this track, at the bell was 6th-9.4 beaten 6 m by Majestic Charma (2:47.10) in NR 40 to 45 on October 26 at $21. Decent effort last start. Will make his presence felt.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr6) over 2190m at Shepparton beaten 50 m by Keayang Brandy (2:44.00) in NR up to 49 on October 21 at $51. Two runs back then managed to finish sixth over 2190m at Shepparton last time out. Has the task ahead.

Going well. Last start won just off the speed and boxed on; won by a head as favourite (Sr5) at this track (2:08.50) beating Whats The Tea in NR up to 39 on October 26 at $3.40 at the bell was 2nd-3. Can overcome the awkward draw to score again.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
