Maryborough Race 3 - Alfredton Lucas Probus Club Pace Trot
APRIL SUN (7) finished fourth last start, beaten 40 metres at Melton over 2240m. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to cope. BAR TAB (6) scored by 5 metres at Melton over 2240m last start, the second win from her past five outings. Tackles a similar assignment and she can salute once again. BLACKRANGE GLORY (8) is the next elect off a last-start win by 1.5 metres at this track over 1690m. IM EDDIE (1) could only finish tenth over 2200m at Ballarat most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Before that surrendered the lead and finished 8th (Fr5) over 2190m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 50 m by Antonov (2:43.70) in NR 52 to 56 on February 4 at $15. Will not find this easy. Must do a lot more.
