Kilmore Race 5 - Charles Bell Memorial Pace

HOME AND DRY (6) has been coming from the second line of late, including when he won at Melton in March. Scored at Ballarat the last time he started from this row so can produce his best. MICTON MOUSE (8) put the writing on the wall with a strong showing at Melton last time, racing parked but sticking on well for a 2m second at Melton. Two-time winner at this circuit and draws for a nice trail. LOTAKEVI (2) came from this same barrier to place in the latest outing at Melton. Has a solid record at this venue and distance. Contender. FAVOURITEHIGHLIGHT (5) has placed in all three starts this time in, last start coming from wide on the back row for third at Echuca. Should be peaking now. Something for the Multiples: HOME AND DRY NZ (6)

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Dancingonstarlight at Cranbourne over 1609m in a NR up to 49 on April 18 at $17. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind River Patrol at Melton over 1200m in a NR up to 36 on April 25 at $3.50. Heading the right way and is a leading player.

Good run when beaten by 5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Rockstar Leo at Shepparton over 2190m in a NR up to 38 on April 15 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Olly Odd Potts at Echuca over 2160m in a NR up to 37 on April 20 at $7. Can be about the money again.

Two back was well beaten into tenth after showing early speed, behind Swiss Lightning at Ararat over 1790m in a NR up to 45 on April 6 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Feel The Buzz at Melton over 1720m in a NR 37 to 42 on April 25 at $16. Likely to be there at the business end.

Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Sr1) over 1720m at Melton was 6th-8.07 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Feel The Buzz (2:05.70) in NR 37 to 42 on April 25 at $71.
