Kilmore Race 9 - Picklebet 'Get Your Pickle On' Trot
MASSIF CENTRAL (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling when fourth at Shepparton last week. Recorded back-to-back placings here prior. Draws wide but is up to winning this with even luck. LITTLE TEDEY (8) hasn't had a lot go his way since he scored a win here in July. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Leading hope if he is at his best. MOONSHINE LOUIE (7) is much better placed after tackling a Vicbred heat last start and has placed in two of three previous attempts at this circuit and distance. BET BET HOTSHOT (1) came from this barrier when runner-up here last month so could be competitive.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 4th (Fr3) over 1690m after showing early pace at Shepparton beaten 8 m by Against The Bridle (2:04.00) on September 1 at $21. Before that, a solid effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 2180m after showing early speed at this track was leading by 1.7 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Fling It Rainbow (2:47.00) on August 13 at $26. May prove hard to beat.
