Kilmore Race 5 - Apg Vicbred Super Series (3yo Colts & Geldings) (5th Heat)

THIS IS HEAVEN (1) recorded another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 2125m at Penrith. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Primary contender based on those recent efforts. THE NITESHIFT (4) was disappointing last start when eighth over 2300m at Menangle after a nice win at Menangle the run prior. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. MOST EXCITING (5) finished second at Melton last time. Consistent performer whose best form stacks up favourably so he must be included. BLAZING HIGH (3) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1609m at Menangle last time out.

Last start 2nd (Sr2) over 1710m at Ballarat, at the bell was 4th-5.61 beaten 9 m by Co Captain (2:02.00) on August 19 at $5. Two runs back won by 4.5 m as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at Shepparton (2:00.70) beating She Haunts Em in on August 11 at $2.20. This looks a far sterner test.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Alert Bay at Menangle over 1609m in a 3yo on August 8 at $12. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Romanee at Menangle over 1609m on August 18 at $2.70. Nice effort last time. With further improvement can go one better.

Steps out over an extra 440m after a solid effort last start; won by 1.75 m after showing early speed, (Fr7) at Riverina Paceway (2:05.50) beating Hesourcelebrity in 3yo on August 21 at $7 at the bell was 4th-4 Raced well last start but has the task ahead this time. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Three-year-old colt who is racing well. Solid first up, posted a big 5.5 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Shepparton (2:40.90) beating Dusty Philtra in 3yo on August 11 at $1.60. Should prove very hard to beat again.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following August 7 run. Last start posted a big 6 m win (Sr1) at Shepparton (2:01.30) beating Bay Of Fires in on August 18 at $7. This race will be harder than that win. Not keen.
