Kilmore Race 5 - Mc Labour Pace
JILLIBY ILLUSION (2) is a progressive mare who made it three wins on the trot when resuming at Leeton, leading from this barrier before cruising home by close to 13m. That was her first outing for six months so she should be fitter for it. Expect her to push forward again so looks hard to catch. MANINKY MOONSHINE (7) switches to the Alex Ashwood yard from Tasmania where he won two of his last five starts at Hobart. Hasn't raced for close to six weeks but is proven at the distance and could measure up. GALAXY LASS (3) owns a decent record at this distance and can make an impact from a favourable draw. HITTHEROADJACK NZ (9) raced very wide when resuming but has won a trial since so should have come on.
