Maryborough Race 4 - Nev Fitzpatrick Member Trot
WHATS THE TEA (6) went back last start then worked home in good style to finish just 4 metres from the winner in fourth at Bendigo over 1650m, adding to the solid recent form. Big chance based on those recent efforts. CHARLIE WALKER (8) is racing well with seven top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at Bendigo over 2150m. Will enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane to play a big role. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of continuing his fine form. ALLWATFUNJINGLES (7) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 2150m at Bendigo last time out. Worth a second look. AZALEA MAE (2) is worth some thought after her last-start fifth over 1650m at Bendigo on March 11.

Resumes. At the latest first-up run surrendered the lead and finished 3rd (FT Fr1) over 2190m at Shepparton beaten 30 m by Alfie Always (2:50.00) in No NR on July 15 at $51. Might need this run and others rate better.

Failed to impress last start; surrendered the lead and finished 8th (FT Fr1) over 2550m at Birchip beaten 60 m by Run Forest Run (3:18.80) in No NR on March 8 at $81. Showed ability the run before when she won by 12 m (FT Fr1) at Boort (2:58.20) beating Louieville Lass in No NR on March 1 at $9.50 at the bell was leading 7.4. Best form puts her right in this.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Atego Dawn at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR 37 to 41 on March 4 at $2.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Straight To Thetop at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR 40 to 45 on March 11 at $6. Continues to race well and is a leading player again.
