Hamilton Race 1 - Vale Greg Sugars Maiden Trot

MUSCLE MEMORY (2) is close to a win having placed in three of four starts this time in, coming from the back row when runner-up to a promising runaway winner at the latest appearance at Shepparton. No excuses from this advantageous draw so gets her chance. BUCKLES FOR BERRY (6) when under by just a head when resuming three back at Charlton but has had little go to plan since, copping a check and breaking last time. Player with better fortune. TRICKY DIAMOND (7) draws wide but is building in fitness and must be considered after he finished third at Geelong a week ago. LOOKAT SPUNKY TROT (3) cane feature from a good draw.
