Maryborough Race 3 - Les Chapman Memorial Trot
LITTLE MISS VALLEY (2) turned in a much better run at her latest appearance, finishing second over 1690m at Kilmore. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. CALABASAS (1) scored at Melton three runs ago. Returned to something like that form last time out when second over 1720m at Melton, beaten 9 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. BOUTIKA (3) placed from a standing start last time and won three in a row prior, one of them here. Draws to make an impact. KAMARAN (9) is worth thought off a last-start win by a nose at this track over 1690m.

Two back was well beaten into tenth behind Tictok at Ballarat over 1710m on October 15 at $3.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Coltrane at Melton over 1720m on October 24 at $9. Winning prospects.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Gatesys Gem at Melton over 2240m in a 4yo G1 on September 19 at $101. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Shes Sky High at Kilmore over 1690m on October 14 at $3.80. Rates highly. Winning prospects.

Last start solid effort when 3rd (FT) over 2190m at this track was 3rd-7.7 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Champagne Charley (2:46.90) on October 12 at $19. Two runs back won by 2 m as favourite (20m) at Charlton (2:42.80) beating Nedza Thriller in on September 21 at $1.70 at the bell was leading 4.2. Another strong performance expected.

Comes here second-up after only five days break. Lacklustre first-up performance when 6th (Sr1) over 1690m at Kilmore was 6th-19.82 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Heavenly Glow (2:10.50) on October 27 at $151. This will be too tough.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Lord Logan at Geelong over 2100m on October 16 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Kamaran at this track over 1690m on October 25 at $4.60. Can improve. First four contender again.

Last start 7th (Fr2) over 1720m after showing early speed at Melton, at the bell was leading 3.09 beaten 20 m by Coltrane (2:08.10) on October 24 at $7. Before that, a good run when 2nd (Fr6) over 1710m after showing early pace at Ballarat was leading by 4.37 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Tictok (2:05.30) on October 15 at $7. Among the exotic chances on best form.

Last start tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (2:06.20) beating Creatable in on October 25 at $3.30 at the bell was 3rd-4.5. Can play a major role.
