Busselton Race 5 - Callows Corner News Discretionary Handicap Ss Pace

MOTOR ON LILLY (1) made a nice return at her latest appearance six days ago, finishing 11 metres away in second over 2030m at this track. Meets a comparable field and she can continue the strong start to the campaign. IM THE BEST (8) missed the placings two runs back then did a great job to finish 4 metres back in second despite breaking in the run over 2400m at this track six days ago. Meets a similar line up so he must be respected. RISING SPIRIT (6) was out of the money two runs ago then overcame a break to get the prize by a nose over 2400m at this track six days ago. Only needs to get things right to be in the money again. VELVET SHADOW (5) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 2400m at this track. Something for the Multiples: IM THE BEST NZ (8)

Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Fr1) over 2185m at Pinjarra beaten 75 m by My Silver Spoon (2:38.50) in 3yo+ L2/4 NE HWOE $9,000+ on December 24 at $101. Before that 9th (Fr2) over 1684m at Pinjarra beaten 35 m by Trunkey Mon Star (2:03.50) in 3yo+ L2/4 NE HWOE $9,000+ on December 9 at $101. This looks a far sterner test.

Look for improvement on last start. Should strip fitter and play a role in the finish.
