Kilmore Race 1 - Jp Mckay Memorial Pace
HANDLER (13) is a lightly-raced but progressive gelding who was first up for six months when coming from a similar draw for an 11m win at Ballarat. In his only appearance of last campaign he was a dominant winner at this circuit. Has upside and can go through his grades. The recent consistency of DOOO DONT THINK (7) is hard to knock having added to a string of top-two finishes when he led from a similar draw for a 2.2m win at Cobram. He could do it again. HURRIKANE DUSTY (1) added to a good record here when he raced parked but toughed out a win here last time. Draws to enjoy the favours. Last-start winner DIRECT COMMAND (8) is in the mix again. Something for the Multiples: DIRECT COMMAND NZ (8)

Last start won by a head as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (2:02.80) beating Majors Creek in NR 45 to 50 on April 24 at $3.70 at the bell was leading 2m 2WNC. Could go back to back.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr1) over 1690m after showing early speed at Shepparton was leading by.7m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 5 m by Rowdy Christian (2:04.50) in 4yo+ 0-4 WINS on April 22 at $4.20. Showed ability the run before when he won by 1.1 m (Sr1) at Maryborough (2:04.10) beating Jilliby Justify in 4yo+ MAIDEN on April 2 at $6.50 at the bell was leading 1.4. Has claims.
