Kilmore Race 8

C&M Build Group (Bm62)

Prize Money: $27,000

SONIC BENDER (4) progressed nicely last time out to score by 4.5 lengths over 1950m in Maidens at Yarra Valley. The Waller-trained galloper will have taken further improvement, and McNeil stays aboard. He won't have to improve much to win again. FIRST DAY (5) is third up and stepping up from 1600m should be ready to fire. She's won 3/4 over this distance, and her best numbers more than stack up. Bates renews his association with the mare. LUNAR FORCE (2) is lightly raced and promising. Followed his first-up Maiden win with a 2.5L defeat in town over 1800m, in stronger than this. Has the rail, but has been settling back. Has decent claims if things work out. WHICH FLOOR (6) is sure to build on his heavily bet Maiden win over 1856m at Terang.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming eased back early on 8th of 11 at Wangaratta Bm62 on February 8 over 1590m, 5 len behind Sotomayor with 59.5kg at $21. Second run from a spell second last of 8 at Corowa Corowa Cup on March 7 over 1600m, 6 len behind Blazing Sword carrying 55kg at $17. Profiles nicely. Well placed to take this out.

At the latest run favourite; won by a neck at Terang Mdn-Sw March 17 over 1856m on a soft track defeating Zikron with 69kg at $2.05. The start before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track Mdn-Sw on March 6 over 1600m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Druthers with 69kg at $7. Tougher here but has upside.
