Roxburgh Race 7 - Ritchie Mcdonald & Val Whyte Memorial Trot
ASPIRATIONAL DREAM (7) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at her last four starts including a third most recently at Addington over 1980m. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat again. BUFFY NORTHSTAINS (6) added to the impressive sequence of wins last start when she scored by 3.5 metres over 2600m at Omakau. Primary contender in this comparable race. SWITCH ON (9) is worth another chance after a last-start 11th over 2200m at Gore Raceway eight days ago. BULLIT TRAIN (2) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw.
