Maryborough Race 2 - Redpath Tyre & Battery Service Trotters Handicap
ALFIE ALWAYS (7) was out of the money two back at Shepparton. Turned in a better run last time out when second over 1690m at this track, beaten 2.75 metres. Big chance if he is at his best. SINGARA TED (8) finished second last start, beaten 15 metres at Geelong over 1609m after settling back. Talented and has plenty of upside. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. SURPRISE TO ME (5) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 2100m at Charlton last time out. PROHIBITED BID (9) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth first-up over 2190m at this track last time out.
