Winton Race 3 - NIGHT 'N DAY WINTON HANDICAP TROT
COURAGEOUS KATIE (3) lines up for the first time. By Creatine and hails from the Brett Gray stable. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Has strong trial form coming into this. Makes plenty of appeal. SHAKEDOWN (7) has joined Nathan Williamson since last seen in February. A workout win suggests he has come back in good order so can make a big impact in this line-up. HE AINT NO DEVIL (2) is still learning and made mistakes last time but has hinted that there is enough ability there to win a race like this if he gets it right. FILLYOURBOOTS (4) ran fourth last start at this track over 2400m. First four hope.
