Maryborough Race 4 - Yabby Dam Farms Mdn Trot
WALKING ON WATER (4) worked to find the lead and kept kicking only to find one better last start over 2080m at Cranbourne. Primary contender if things go her way. FRANKS ALOT (5) finished 12 metres from the winner in second at Charlton over 2100m last start at his first career run. Meets a similar line up so he can certainly take this out. ELARIA (2) lines up for the first time. By Elite Stride and hails from the Keith Cotchin stable. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Showed some ability when a minor placegetter in a recent trial. Well-placed to score at her first appearance. DANCE WITH ROXY (6) is in the mix after finishing runner-up for the second time in a row last start, beaten 4 metres at Kilmore.
