Hamilton Race 7 - Vale Heather Willis Maiden Pace
KEAYANG ALABAMA (2) was well supported and made a solid impact on debut a week-and-a-half ago over 1690m at Kilmore, beaten 4 metres into second after taking charge of proceedings a fair way from home. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of getting the job done. MAJOR ROY (1) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 2100m at Charlton, finishing third and just 2 metres from the winner. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. COLOSIMO (3) produced a good effort on debut last start, finishing third over 2180m at Terang. Has plenty of scope for improvement. STEEL MIKI (6) could only finish eighth over 1690m at Kilmore most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Dallascowboy at Charlton over 1609m in a MAIDEN on February 2 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing third behind Hurricane Hooly at Charlton over 2100m in a MAIDEN on February 16 at $2.80. Bursting to win one.

Finding that maiden win elusive. Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 1690m at Kilmore beaten 35 m by Pricilla (2:03.30) in 3yo MAIDEN on February 12 at $13. The run previous 5th (Fr3) over 1690m at Maryborough beaten 40 m by Signature Look (2:00.10) in 3yo MAIDEN on January 12 at $17. Capable of a better showing.

Racing consistently with minor placings at her last two starts. Placed last start 2nd (Fr4) over 2100m after showing early speed at Charlton beaten a nose by Hurricane Hooly (2:33.50) in MAIDEN on February 16 at $12. Before that 3rd (Fr7) over 1785m after showing early pace at Stawell was 3rd-5 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Bigbashash (2:11.10) in MAIDEN on February 9 at $26. Might find this a bit tough.

Showed a glimmer of form last start 2nd (Sr2) over 1780m at Mt Gambier, beaten 5 m by Another Woods (2:13.10) in MAIDEN on February 17 at $71. But The run before was well beaten into ninth behind Bigbashash at Stawell over 1785m in a MAIDEN on February 9 at $151. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
