Kilmore Race 2 - La Dimora Retirement Resort Trot
MONEY TALKS (7) had been building to a win and it arrived last time out when he scored by 3 metres at this circuit and distance. Draws a couple of spots wider but could go on with it now that he has broken through. LITTLE TEDEY (3) turned in a good effort, finishing second at this circuit and distance. That was his third runner-up result from his last four outings and he should enjoy an economical run from this draw. LAVENGERS BOY (6) didn't do a bad job when fourth from the back row at Echuca last time out and is a player off a Maryborough win prior. NIGHT SKY (5) is first up for three months but placed in a recent trial so could open this campaign with a positive effort.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Jessicas Story at this track over 1690m on July 2 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Met With A Shrug at this track over 2180m on July 8 at $6. Chance to break through.

Last start 4th (Sr2) over 2160m at Echuca, at the bell was 5th-8.3 beaten 4 m by Starlight Red (2:45.90) on July 7 at $10. Two runs back tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.75 m as favourite (Fr1) at Maryborough (2:49.60) beating Bet Bet Hotshot in on June 29 at $2.40 at the bell was 2nd-3.6. Capable of playing a major role.
