Kilmore Race 5 - Coulter Legal Graduation Series 3yo & Older Pace (2nd Heat)
THE LAST TRIP (6) has joined champion trainer Emma Stewart since last seen in the Caduceus Classic 18 months ago. Has won both previous fresh attempts and was readied with a second in a Melton trial so will be ready to go. Can kick off for the new yard with a win. AMERICAN MICHI (5) went to the paddock after kicking off his career with a Melton win in January. Likely to have developed further with maturity and has upside. Tougher task for COOL STORY (3) tonight but he has won both starts so far this time in so is going well. MAJOR EASTWOOD (4) draws better than last start and has claims off the prior win.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won by 1.4 m when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at Geelong (2:35.50) beating Sweetheart Dior in on July 3 at $3.50 at the bell was 3rd-4.59. Drawn to advantage and may go well again.
