Ararat Race 3 - Brendan's Australian Tours Maiden Trot
RASENGAN (8) resumes from a spell of four months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last outing being a solid second from a tough draw at Bendigo. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Can make a winning return. TROTTENEM MAGIC (10) is a three-year-old daughter of Majestic Son on debut for the Ingrid Murphy yard. Runner up in a recent trial at Maryborough. With an ounce of luck from this tricky draw she can make an impact. NIGHT FLIGHT (1) gets the ace draw and is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Maryborough. LADY SUSPICIOUS (6) is in the mix after turning in a good effort last start to finish third at Hamilton.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Mecarno at Geelong over 1609m in a MAIDEN on May 2 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Parlezvous Patty at Maryborough over 1690m in a 3yo MAIDEN on May 7 at $41. Go well from this draw.
