Kilmore Race 5 - C&M Build Group Mdn Trot
RIPPING RONALDO (2) is a three-year-old gelding by Classic Connection on debut for the Alex Ashwood stable. Looks to have some talent based on a recent trial win and should have no excuses from this advantageous draw. Makes plenty of appeal. REVERAND BOB (7) looks close to a win having placed in both starts so far this time in. Produced a very good effort at this circuit and distance last time when second and just 1.6 metres from the winner. Has to contend with a very wide draw but should be peaking. MISS KOMMUNICATION (5) is looming as a threat after another good effort last start, finishing third at Bendigo. MUSCLEM (3) draws well and looks close to a win after back-to-back placings, coming from wider for third last week at Bendigo.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Bumper Crop at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a 2yo LR F on May 30 at $126. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Kyvalley Diablo at Bendigo over 2150m in a 2yo on June 10 at $4.20. Draws well so can make an impact again.
