Kilmore Race 2 - Next Payments Trot
DISTANT SUN (8) was good again when he finished second last start at Geelong, beaten 2 metres. That made it back-to-back seconds, both from this row. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. Looks close to a win and he scored the only time he raced at this circuit and distance. LITTLE MISS VALLEY (9) comes through the Vicbred 4M Super Series where she was fourth in her heat before drawing poorly in the final. Better placed and is proven at this distance as is VOLDAGHA (5) who should be hitting her peak following two solid efforts off a spell. KIMBERLEYS TREE (2) draws nicely and goes well at this trip with a win and two placings from three attempts.

Comes here second-up after four weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 9th (Sr1) over 2190m at Shepparton, beaten 65 m by Centurion Dream (2:42.80) on September 15 at $151. Will not find this easy. Unlikely to threaten against this field.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr3) over 2180m at this track was 2nd-1.17 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Little Miss Morgan (2:48.00) on September 30 at $15. At the previous start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr3) over 2180m at this track, at the bell was 5th-14.19 beaten 14 m by Muskee (2:45.90) in 4yo on September 24 at $61. Fitter so worth following up.
