Kilmore Race 7 - Picklebet "Get Your Pickle On" Trot
PIESRIDINGSHOTGUN (5) led as favourite last start at Maryborough and while he couldn't see it out he boxed on okay for fourth. Has put together a string of wins and placings prior and is suited returning to a circuit and distance where he is unbeaten. PLEASE LAYLA (4) backs up quickly after coming from a similar barrier for second at Maryborough on Monday, her fourth placing on the trot. Big chance to break through. HEART OF GRACELAND (3) worked and dug deep to get home narrowly at Shepparton last week. Draws closer to the pegs so could go on with it. MAORI TATTOO (6) hasn't raced since September but was readied with a trial win so looking for a good return.

Returns after seven months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into sixth after showing early speed, behind Ijustcalledtosay at Melton over 1720m in a 3yo NR up to 55 on June 6 at $126. Placed in two recent trials so looks set for a bright return.

Didn't do much last time out, broke in score up and was out of position at the start 9th (Fr2) over 2160m at Echuca, well beaten by Wallis (2:44.40) in NR up to 52 on January 1 at $81. Before that 6th (Fr1) over 1650m at Bendigo beaten 35 m by Montana Chevelle (2:01.70) in NR up to 45 on December 17 at $81. Has been without a win for ages and others look to have her measure.
