Kilmore Race 8 - Picklebet 'Get Your Pickle On' Pace
DAUGHTER OFDARKNES (3) delivered a maiden last week when she led and kept going to score by 5.4m at Shepparton. Jumps in grade but is race fit now and draws to push forward again so could go on with it. CATIES SON (5) showed big improvement when third-up last week, coming from the back line to miss by a head at this circuit. Race fit now and could go one better. QUICK CRUNCH (1) overcame a wide draw on the back row to score by 1.2m at Melton last week. Gets the ace draw this time so could take the next step. MASTER MIKI (4) has had some tough barrier of late but still managed to place two back and had a similar draw to this when he scored last month at Shepparton.

Resuming after a layoff of seven months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation when eighth at very big odds behind Ollies Medal. Has been in work for a little while but after a lengthy break may need the run.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 2190m after racing wide at Shepparton, beaten 21 m by With In Reason (2:41.50) in 0-3 WINS on December 9 at $61. Showed ability the run before when he won by a head (Fr3) at Shepparton (2:04.60) beating Warrioress in 0-2 WINS on December 2 at $31 at the bell was 4th-4.34. No surprise if he turned things around.
