Maryborough Race 6 - Benstud Standardbreds 3Yo Maiden Pace
HAPPILY (2) made a solid impact on debut a week ago, finishing second and beaten 16 metres over 1700m at Horsham. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw and should settle closer to the speed. Her last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. WICKED HANGOVER (6) is back from a break of four months and looks to be right up to the mark following a placing in a recent trial. Sure to prove hard to beat on her return. EEBEEBEE (5) must be considered after she finished third when resuming over 1609m at Cranbourne two-and-a-half weeks ago. LEWIELEWIS (10) ended last prep with a seventh at Bendigo over 1650m five-and-a-half months ago. Can open this campaign with a more positive effort.

At her previous start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr4) over 2150m after racing wide at Bendigo beaten 20 m by Savon De Roche (2:40.80) in MAIDEN on May 21 at $23. Expecting a better run this time.

Three-year-old filly facing the starter for the second time. At debut was well back in the run when 4th (Fr6) over 1690m after being wide early at Kilmore, beaten 35 m by Fear The Power (2:05.70) in 3yo MAIDEN on May 29 at $81. Likely improver.
