Kilmore Race 6 - Don Dove Memorial Trot
STEADY DREAM (5) came from this barrier and fought hard for a narrow win last time at Maryborough. That took her strike rate at this distance to 50 per cent. Strong claims. DONA AMALIA (1) has come from wide or second row barriers in her last three outings and has placed twice. Scored back-to-back wins prior and is well served by the ace draw. ALLWATFUNJINGLES (3) is back in winning form having come from this barrier when scoring by close to 2m in this grade at Ballarat last time. Proven at this circuit and distance so looks a big chance to go back to back. STICK WITH ME (2) has been coming from wider barriers of late, including when second two back at Bendigo. Go well from this draw. KALARNEY PRINCE (4) is in form having placed in his last three outings and usually performs well at this venue and distance.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Settle The Bill at Shepparton over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on March 18 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Chinski at Charlton over 1609m in a NR up to 50 on April 23 at $5.50. Winning prospects.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Settle The Bill at Shepparton over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on April 22 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Thats Dudley at Cobram over 2170m in a NR up to 49 on April 25 at $12. Form sound and certainly one of the contenders.
