Kilmore Race 4 - Vhrc / Benstud Standardbreds Trot
WIND STORM (4) has had three-and-a-half months off since kicking off her career with an impressive win by 17m at Charlton where she led from this barrier and drew away. Looks forward enough after a minor placing in a recent trial and has plenty of upside. ACOOL INVESTMENT (6) did a great job when she came from the back row and raced wide but stuck on for third last time out, beaten 6 metres at Melton. Has recorded a win and two placings in three attempts at this venue. Primary contender. KISS AT MIDNIGHT (9) ended last prep with a second from this barrier here in December. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. THE TROUT COD (1) is a three-year-old daughter of Majestic Son on debut for the Andy Gath yard. Won her latest trial at Melton and the ace draw is advantage to first starter so keep very safe.

Four-year-old mare facing the starter for the second time. Won at debut when a big 16 m win as favourite (Fr4) at Charlton (2:40.50) beating Calders Revenge in MAIDEN on December 8 at $2.70 at the bell was 2nd-.2m on the pegs. Could go through her grades this time in.

Two back was well beaten into tenth behind Floating Mountain at Ararat over 2165m in a No NR on February 27 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Kyvalley Jetstream at Melton over 2240m in a NR 50 to 55 on March 6 at $15. Rates highly and is well-placed to take this out.
