Kilmore Race 2 - Kilmore Ford 3yo Mdn Pace
HEAVENLY FLYER (3) had put together a string of strong performances and maintained the momentum last start when she came from this barrier for second at Shepparton, beaten 2.5 metres. Likely to get the favours from this draw. Deserves a win and could achieve it here. ESTHERS BEST (5) lines up for the first time. By top sire Bettors Delight and hails from the Jake Stockton stable. Has put together a series of nice trial efforts so anticipating a bright start to her career. IM HELLS BELLE (9) missed the start when fourth at her most recent appearance at Shepparton. Still learning but has upside. HEAVENLY NIKKY (8) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up at this circuit and distance. Include.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.75 m finishing second behind Heynowheynow at Shepparton over 1690m in a 3yo on June 16 at $1.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second behind The Trawler at Shepparton over 2190m in a 3yo on June 30 at $3.20. Deserves a win and could achieve it aided by a good draw.
