Maryborough Race 3 - Benstud Standardbreds Mares Pace
WRITTEN IN SILK (9) is in good form. Added to a string of top-four finishes when she finished third at her latest appearance at Charlton, beaten 3.4 metres after racing parked. Won the only time she raced here and with a bit of luck from the back row she can take this out. FINAL BOW (3) had a second line draw last time and was racing well prior with a win, a second and a close fourth from her previous three starts, all from tougher barriers than this. Should get her chance. ALWAYS A SHOWGIRL (6) is good enough to measure up in a race like this if things go her way from a wide draw. TOTALLY STUNNING (8) starts on the back row for the the first time since scoring at Shepparton last month and should enjoy a nice trail.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3.5 m third behind Our Ultimate Gracy at Charlton over 2100m NR 50 to 55 last start. Before that was beaten 4.5 metres fourth at Terang over 1680m same class on January 26. Likely to be right there at the business end.
