Maryborough Race 5 - Aldebaran Park Trot
CHAMPAGNES (2) was prominent from the outset last time out and finished third, beaten 7 metres, in a far better performance at this track over 2190m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Steps up a level but she is good enough to cope. SHEZALOVER (7) impressed when successful at Geelong two runs ago then settled back and failed to finish off well enough at her latest appearance over 2200m at Ballarat, beaten 6 metres into fifth. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Finds a nice race and can return to winning form. RASTAMON (9) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at Echuca over 2160m. ATTRACTED (11) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 1.3 metres at this track over 1690m.

Last start 7th (Fr2) over 2190m after showing early speed at this track beaten 24 m by Aldebaran Jazmine (2:46.00) on June 29 at $51. Two runs back 2nd (Sr1) over 2150m at Bendigo, at the bell was 4th-8.03 beaten 3 m by Always Skye High (2:43.40) on June 24 at $12. Form not inspiring.

Two back was well beaten into eleventh after a quick start, behind Aldebaran Jazmine at this track over 2190m on June 29 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Starlight Red at Echuca over 2160m on July 7 at $3.80. Among the better chances.

Last start raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 1.3 m (Sr1) at this track (2:07.20) beating Betsy Anne in on June 17 at $3.30 at the bell was 3rd-5.7. Can overcome the awkward draw to score again.
