Kilmore Race 8 - Picklebet 'Get Your Pickle On' 3yo Mdn Trot
JET PLANE (4) ran third last start at Melton over 2240m, beaten 13 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can play a major role in the outcome. ALDEBARAN MIGUEL (8) resumes here after closing his last campaign with a seventh at Bendigo on May 13. Expect him to be prominent. BIG RAIN (1) must be considered after she finished third over 1720m at Melton three-and-a-half weeks ago. Drawn well and has to be included, while HEAVENLY GLOW (7) is also in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 2240m at Melton.

Three-year-old colt facing the starter for the second time. At debut hung in on scoring up, 5th (Fr4) over 2240m at Melton, beaten 60 m by Majestic Yankee (2:50.70) in 3yo on July 10 at $14. This looks a far sterner test.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind Cee Cee In Paris at Menangle over 1609m in a G2 on July 4 at $71. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Miss Muscle at Melton over 2240m on July 24 at $3. Rates highly and expected to be in the finish.

Last start then managed to finish seventh over 2180m at this track last start. Two runs back was well beaten after breaking at this track on July 16. Unlikely to threaten.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr5) over 1690m at Maryborough, at the bell was 5th-20.6 beaten 19 m by Pipalicious (2:07.20) in 3yo on August 3 at $16. At the start before 5th (Fr3) over 1690m at this track well beaten by Amira (2:14.00) in 3yo on July 16 at $4.80. Better than the last run so worth another chance.

Last start 4th (Fr7) over 2240m at Melton, beaten 40 m by Miss Muscle (2:49.10) on July 24 at $26. Before that, was well beaten after breaking at Melton on July 10. Deserves another chance.
