Kilmore Race 2 - Next Payments Vicbred Voucher Trot
SEBASTIANS WAITING (6) was successful last time out by 3.5 metres at this track over 2180m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. ALDEBARAN SUE (10) scored two runs back then registered a commanding win last time out, scoring by 7 metres over 2138m at Albion Park. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw, but this is a nice drop in class so she is a major player again. FREMARKS PEGGY (5) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid third at Maryborough over 2190m. Has to be included. ZARSKI (1) is taking on a far easier race this time after finishing 12th in a Group One at his latest appearance over 2240m at Melton, beaten 115 metres by Mecarno. Should enjoy a lovely run and can win fresh.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 7th (Fr3) over 2080m after showing early speed at Cranbourne well beaten by Rarity Rock (2:33.70) on August 2 at $6.50. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 3rd (Fr6) over 2080m at Cranbourne, at the bell was 6th-9.7 beaten 7 m by Call Me Jack (2:39.10) on July 19 at $8.50. This looks a far sterner test.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Maestro at Maryborough over 2190m on July 13 at $2.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Johns Boy at Maryborough over 2190m on August 3 at $3.30. Should be in the finish again.
