Kilmore Race 8

Picklebet 'Get Your Pickle On' Vicbred Voucher 1-3 Ltw Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

DECODE (6) will find this much easier than his last attempt in a Victoria Derby heat. Led to win at Wagga prior so is is much better placed and has the early speed to get across from a wide draw. DELIGHTFUL MIKI (5) came from the back row to win at Melton four back and could be close to another success after she recorded a strong performance last time, battling on bravely to just miss out at Melton. Big chance. THE WISE GUY (7) hasn't raced for 15 months but is promising, winning three of four starts so far. Draws wide but was readied with a trial so watch the betting. STORM VENDETTA (2) is a player after coming from wider for a last-start win by a head at Ballarat.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Ideal Moth at this track over 2180m in a 4yo on September 24 at $9. Then a handy effort when a close third after a quick start, behind Bringsusjoy at Melton over 1720m on October 9 at $2.60. Likely to play a major role.

Last start was well beaten into eighth behind Enjoy Life at Melton over 2760m in a 3yo on October 10 at $61. Raced better the start before that where he won by 8 m when quickly away, (Fr3) at Riverina Paceway (1:59.70) beating Zihuatanejo in 3yo on September 25 at $2.20 at the bell was leading 1.5. Looks hard to beat.
