Maryborough Race 7 - Benstud Standardbreds Pace
WICKED MITZI (8) continued a string of wins or placings from last campaign when she came from this row for a resuming third at Shepparton. She'll be fitter for that and draws for a trail so has winning claims. DEEBRAXTON (4) hasn't raced for nearly six weeks but has been kept up to the mark with a trial. Has placed in three of four outings this campaign and tends to do his best work at this distance. GOODTIME OSCAR (6) resumes after six months but has been readied with a trial and has performed well when fresh in the past so keep safe. WICHITA DANCE (2) has trialled and goes well here so expect a strong return from a good draw.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Rolling Remona at Geelong over 1609m in a NR up to 49 on December 20 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when a close second after being driven well back, behind Goodtime Mach at Melton over 1200m in a NR up to 49 on December 27 at $8. Strong chance.
