Kilmore Race 7 - Kilmore Ford Pace
SMOKING SHANNON (5) faded as favourite last start but is much better than that having led from this barrier when scoring at Shepparton prior. Prepared to give her another chance. ARCHAA (7) was checked and broke last start but was going very well with a string of top-three results prior including back-to-back wins at this circuit. Draws wide but is a player with even luck. MIDNIGHT MOJO (6) was midfield after racing wide and working last start so wasn't disgraced. Had produced some decent Melton efforts prior so can feature if things go his way. FOUR EVER A STAR (3) is a big query returning after three years but has been trialling well and draws nicely so watch the betting.

Last start 6th (Fr1) over 1690m at this track, beaten 20 m by Kings Gallery (2:04.40) on August 20 at $19. Before that, hung in on scoring up, was well back in the run when 7th (Fr4) over 1720m at Melton, beaten 21 m by Foregone Conclusion (2:02.60) on August 12 at $81. Should be at peak fitness now and can feature off the inside draw.

Gave plenty of ground last start when well beaten into seventh after showing early speed, behind Asmileandawinx at Maryborough over 1690m on August 24 at $2.50. Performed better the start before where she won by 9 m when quickly away, (Fr5) at Shepparton (2:01.50) beating Miss Hermes in on August 18 at $6.50 at the bell was leading 2.78. Best form would see her back in the winner's stall.
