Maryborough Race 6 - Benstud Standardbreds Pace
SECRET SERVICE AGENT NZ (9) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last 10 starts including a third most recently at Melton over 2240m. Recent efforts are good enough to take out a race like this. LETS GO LORNA (3) is in good form at present. Finished third at her latest appearance over 1710m at Ballarat, beaten 2.75 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a similar line up and she can take this out. OWEN THE SAINTS (6) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 1750m at Swan Hill. Should run a big race. JUST PEDRO (7) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fourth at Cranbourne over 2080m.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten Kilmore over 2180m, 4 days ago and two back 7th (Fr1) over 2240m at Melton beaten 60 m by Lowrider (2:42.20) on July 24 at $51. Hard to have on those efforts.

Last start 5th (Sr3) over 2080m at Cranbourne was 10th-16.7 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Mikispur (2:33.70) on July 5 at $6.50.

Better than the last run and is a leading chance.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr3) over 1700m at Horsham was 6th-8.5 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Jilliby Sniper (2:02.40) on July 27 at $101. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr6) over 1785m at Stawell, at the bell was 9th-14.2 beaten 19 m by Allgood Vinnie (2:09.80) on July 20 at $81. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Won three starts back at Charlton over 1609m on July 6. Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr5) over 1700m at Horsham, at the bell was 7th-11.6 beaten 7 m by Jilliby Sniper (2:02.40) on July 27 at $15. Coming good it seems so worth following up.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing seventh after being driven well back, behind Hurrikane Dusty at Melton over 2240m on July 15 at $13. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Hellovatime at Swan Hill over 1750m on July 24 at $3. Will be right in the thick of things.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Midnight Moth at Geelong over 2100m on July 3 at $13. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Lowrider at Melton over 2240m on July 24 at $5.50. Genuine threat.
