Maryborough Race 6 - Probus - 50 Years Of Fun & Friendship Trot
MANDA KYVALLEY (4) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when a head from the winner in second over 1690m at Shepparton. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and she can grab that well-deserved win. POPPY POPSTAR (1) settled in the leading division then found the lead and maintained the momentum to take out a 2190m race at this track last start, putting an impressive 20 metres on her nearest rival. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Leading hope in a similar race. STRAIGHT TO THETOP (6) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when she finished second at Bendigo over 2150m. FRANKYTHEFRENCHMAN (7) broke last start and finished a long last over 1690m at Shepparton when resuming. Beautifully placed and is able to make amends.
