Kilmore Race 5 - La Dimora Retirement Resort Pace
MELICAN (6) made it two from two when she opened this prep with a commanding win at this venue, leading to cruise home by nearly 20 metres. Draws wider but will be fitter and looks set to work through her grades. CATIES SON (8) resumes after closing his last campaign with a fourth at Shepparton in August. Draws for a trail and is proven at this circuit and distance. THE BLAZINBOOTS (7) had been racing consistently with a string of placings before a well-deserved last-start win at Mt Gambier. Tougher draw but must be respected. ALTIUS (2) draws well again and is a player off a resuming win by 1.8 metres at this circuit and distance.
