Maryborough Race 10 - Britannia Hotel Carisbrooktrot
AT THE DISTANCE (2) recorded a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1690m at Kilmore. Has the benefit of a good draw. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. NEDZA THRILLER (10) settled in the leading division then drove to the lead and kept finding to score a deserved win in a 1690m race at this track last start, arriving 3 metres ahead of his rivals. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw. That latest effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. CONNIES PRESIDENT NZ (11) is also high on the list of contenders despite a tough draw. Best form measures up favourably in this line-up so just needs a bit of luck to go his way. SNICKERS EXPRESS (9) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at Terang over 2180m.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Lord Logan at this track over 1690m on September 7 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Jilliby Topgun at Echuca over 1755m on September 22 at $23. Progressing well. Forward performance expected.
