Maryborough Race 2 - Benstud Standardbreds Trot
BETSY ANNE (3) produced a much better effort at her latest appearance when she led and kicked well to score by close to 5 metres over 1650m at Bendigo. Should be able to push forward again from this draw so could make it consecutive wins. ATEGO DAWN (2) did a good job to come from a wide barrier and finish fourth last start at Kilmore. Has a decent second-up record so should be improved and is better served by this draw. ATTRACTED (8) broke at the latest appearance but there is no harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon so he is capable of turning things around with manners. ITGETSBETTER (1) may be better off behind a mobile after breaking in a standing start race last time and gets the aid of the ace draw.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Night Whisperer at Stawell over 2600m on June 1 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Brown Eyed Kate at Mt Gambier over 2190m on June 9 at $4.20. Consider.
