Kilmore Race 4 - Styles Construction Pace
HANDLER (7) will be fitter for two starts so far this campaign, both of them coming in higher-graded races than this. Draws wide so may need some luck but won his lone visit to this circuit and distance as well as his only third-up attempt so expect he'll be ready to show more. YANKEE BOOT FLAT (3) hasn't raced for 15 months but looks to be right up to the mark following a recent trial win. Has a win and a placing in two tries at this distance and is likely to get the favours from this nice draw. Looking for a good return. MAJOR BERT (6) enjoys a class drop on the last attempt and recorded three successive placings prior. Go well. DIRECT COMMAND NZ (8) has claims having come from this barrier to win three back at Bendigo.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 11th (Fr4) over 1690m at this track, beaten 45 m by Miki Mark (2:04.40) in NR up to 41 on October 23 at $81. Before that 9th (Fr2) over 2150m at Bendigo, beaten 30 m by Direct Command (2:35.50) in NR 46 to 51 on October 15 at $151. Needs to lift.

Last start was well beaten into sixth after showing early speed, behind Pet Kitty at Melton over 1720m in a NR up to 80 on November 1 at $19. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early pace at Cranbourne, beaten 4.5 m by Ferrigno (1:53.70) in NR 53 to 58 on October 19 at $7.50. Can bounce back.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr6) over 1720m at Melton beaten 30 m by Viney (1:59.80) in NR 56 to 64 on October 24 at $31. The run prior 8th (Sr3) over 1720m at Melton beaten 23 m by Pet Kitty (2:03.40) in NR 55 to 60 on October 10 at $6. Worth another chance. Proven third-up and won his line attempt at this circuit and distance so can show his best.
