Maryborough Race 7 - Bartlett Manufacturing Mares Trot
MAGIC LAW (2) has been racing well with back-to-back wins before a last-start fifth at Ballarat, all from wider barriers than this. Two-time winner at this circuit and distance and can take advantage of the low draw. BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE (3) is racing well, winning at Bendigo before missing by a nose as runner-up at Charlton last time out. Draws well and owns a good strike rate at this shorter distance. AI SEDHAI (5) must be included on the back of a string of top-four finishes. STRAIGHT TO THETOP (4) has had a month off but can measure up with her A-game.

Comes here in the right form. Ran on from midfield and posted a big 4 m win as favourite (Sr2) at Shepparton (2:50.80) beating Bet Bet Hotshot in MAIDEN on February 17 at $3.80 at the bell was 3rd-5.64. Two runs back 3rd (Fr5) over 1690m after showing early pace at Shepparton, at the bell was 2nd-1.18 beaten 17 m by Little Miss Morgan (2:08.80) in 4yo+ MAIDEN on February 10 at $13. This may prove too much of a step up.
