Maryborough Race 5 - Aldebaran Park Trot
CHARLIE WALKER (6) worked to find the lead and kept kicking only to find one marginally better last time out over 2190m at this track, adding to his good results of late. Leading hope based on those recent efforts. HEART OF GRACELAND (8) finished third last start, beaten 10 metres at Bendigo over 2150m. Expecting a very good run. ALLWATFUNJINGLES (4) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 2150m at Bendigo last time out. Each-way. CHAMPAGNES (3) is worth another chance after a last-start 11th over 2550m at Birchip three weeks ago.

Comes here second-up after a week-and-a-half. Lacklustre first-up performance when 7th (Fr2) over 2240m at Melton, well beaten by Bar Tab (2:48.70) in 0-1 WIN on March 20 at $61. Will not find this easy. Hard to have.

Solid run 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. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second behind Whats The Tea at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 44 on March 16 at $4.20. Likely to measure up.
