Kilmore Race 8 - C&M Build Group 4yo & Older Mdn Trot
Manners let OVER HERE (7) down when a hot favourite last start but he was showing promise prior including a second at Shepparton two back. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw but he looks capable enough if he gets it right. DANCE WITH ROXY (3) draws well and put the writing on the wall with a better effort last time, beaten only 1.3m as runner-up at this circuit and distance. Should run a big race. There was some merit in the latest effort of KYVALLEY JOYRIDE NZ (1) when he finished fifth last start. Expecting a good showing from the inside barrier. FIRST IN FLIGHT (6) is a four-year-old mare by Aldebaran Eagle on debut. Keep an eye on market moves.

Last start 9th (Fr5) over 1690m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 70 m by Skye Diva (2:10.10) in 4yo+ on October 8 at $31. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr5) over 1710m at Ballarat beaten 10 m by Nathans Dreamer (2:14.50) on October 1 at $13. This looks a far sterner test.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Miss Kommunication at Cranbourne over 1609m on September 6 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second behind Skye Diva at this track over 1690m in a 4yo+ on October 8 at $19. Can play a role in the finish again.

Four-year-old mare by Aldebaran Eagle out of Maybelina on debut. Finished second in a trial on October 10 at Bacchus Marsh over 1940m. Worth keeping safe.

Last start broke and was well beaten into sixth behind Skye Diva at this track over 1690m in a 4yo+ on October 8 at $1.75. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr3) over 1690m at Shepparton was 2nd-3.26 at the bell, beaten 3.5 m by Mi Bow (2:09.60) in 4yo+ on September 29 at $2.90. Big chance with manners.
