Kilmore Race 2 - Bill Harding Memorial Graduation Series 3yo & Older Trot (2nd Heat)
Hard to knock the consistency of REVERAND BOB (9) who added to a series of top-three results when beaten 3m at Maryborough last week. Scored a win over this distance the last time he raced here. Big chance with even luck from the back row. CLASSIC FAIR (8) hasn't been seen since he led for a fighting win at this circuit and distance in January but was readied with a trial placing. Draws for a trail and is likely to have developed with maturity. MISTER DEVEREAUX (7) was well fancied last week but broke and finished midfield. Had finished in the top-two in each of his other outings this campaign including a Bendigo win two back so is worth another chance. WHISKEY DAWN (3) gets her best draw yet and can be competitive from there. ASPEN BELLE (10) steps up in grade but is making good progress, winning her last two outings.

Last start 4th (Fr6) over 1690m at Maryborough, at the bell was 4th-5.8 beaten 4.5 m by Itz Classic Gold (2:08.90) in 3yo+ on July 13 at $41. Two runs back posted a big 7 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at Cranbourne (2:02.30) beating Gym Queen in on June 28 at $1.80 at the bell was leading 4.4. The ace draw can see her continue the good form.

Has won at her last two outings. Last start won by 10 m (Fr6) at Geelong (2:01.00) beating The Fashionista in on July 17 at $4 at the bell was 2nd-0.53. Hard to leave out on current form. Tougher draw but winning form is hard to knock.

Didn't do much at the last run, broke in score up and was out of position at the start 12th (Sr5) over 1720m at Melton, beaten 90 m by Jessicas Story (2:07.80) on June 26 at $71. Before that broke in score up and was out of position at the start 7th (Fr6) over 1690m at Maryborough beaten 55 m by Attracted (2:07.20) on June 17 at $26. Needs to lift.
