Kilmore Race 5 - O'briens Electrical Pace
MAJOR CRUNCH (6) has taken on some strong fields of three-year-olds at his last couple but recorded a win and a second in his previous two outings at Melton. Has had a month off but a class drop can see him return to winning form. This is the lowest-graded race CITY ROCKSTAR (8) has encountered for a while and she has produced some decent efforts this time in including a Shepparton win. Has a win and a placing in two attempts at this distance and draws for a nice trail. MAJORS CREEK (4) placed from wider last start and came from this barrier when she led to win at this circuit three back. Could do that again. CELESTIAL ZODIAC (7) draws out must be included on the back of a string of top-three finishes.

Resuming after 11 months off the scene. Finished off last preparation when beaten by 3.5 m finishing fourth behind Captain Bart at Redcliffe over 1780m in a 2yo MAIDEN on November 7 at $41. Solid prospects.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Outmazing at Stawell over 1785m in a NR up to 55 on September 15 at $3.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Insider Trading at Charlton over 1609m in a NR up to 55 on September 29 at $5. Continues to race well and can feature again.
