Race comment
OVERVIEW: It is an evenly balanced field of trotters and luck in running might be the key to the result. WHIZZBANG DAN (2) was runner up three times in succession prior to a seventh at Shepparton where he raced on the outside of the leader throughout. He is a good chance of finding the lead from his ideal draw and should give a bold showing. MEET MICHAELANGELO (5) gained a nice trail and sprinted home well to defeat WHIZZBANG DAN (2) at Bendigo on March 03. He had no luck from the inside of the second line at his latest attempt and is worth another chance. DON ABRASCO (3) was able to win at big odds when he was resuming after sustaining a long run in the final circuit. He struck trouble at Ballarat last outing but he showed with his first up victory that he is strong enough to figure in the finish. TETRA (6) had every chance after trailing the leader at Kilmore mid-week but she was meeting the smart former New Zealand trotter Justamollyarcher and battled into a distant second. She has been trotting at her peak form and should be finishing off strongly. THE MAJESTIC (7) appeared to have his chance at Kilmore last outing but his form prior was strong so he cannot be discarded. EARLY SPEED: 2 (likely leader), 1,4,7 RATINGS: 2,5/ 3/ 6/ 1,7/ 4

Race comment
OVERVIEW: It is an evenly balanced field of trotters and luck in running might be the key to the result. WHIZZBANG DAN (2) was runner up three times in succession prior to a seventh at Shepparton where he raced on the outside of the leader throughout. He is a good chance of finding the lead from his ideal draw and should give a bold showing. MEET MICHAELANGELO (5) gained a nice trail and sprinted home well to defeat WHIZZBANG DAN (2) at Bendigo on March 03. He had no luck from the inside of the second line at his latest attempt and is worth another chance. DON ABRASCO (3) was able to win at big odds when he was resuming after sustaining a long run in the final circuit. He struck trouble at Ballarat last outing but he showed with his first up victory that he is strong enough to figure in the finish. TETRA (6) had every chance after trailing the leader at Kilmore mid-week but she was meeting the smart former New Zealand trotter Justamollyarcher and battled into a distant second. She has been trotting at her peak form and should be finishing off strongly. THE MAJESTIC (7) appeared to have his chance at Kilmore last outing but his form prior was strong so he cannot be discarded. EARLY SPEED: 2 (likely leader), 1,4,7 RATINGS: 2,5/ 3/ 6/ 1,7/ 4

Race comment
OVERVIEW: It is an evenly balanced field of trotters and luck in running might be the key to the result. WHIZZBANG DAN (2) was runner up three times in succession prior to a seventh at Shepparton where he raced on the outside of the leader throughout. He is a good chance of finding the lead from his ideal draw and should give a bold showing. MEET MICHAELANGELO (5) gained a nice trail and sprinted home well to defeat WHIZZBANG DAN (2) at Bendigo on March 03. He had no luck from the inside of the second line at his latest attempt and is worth another chance. DON ABRASCO (3) was able to win at big odds when he was resuming after sustaining a long run in the final circuit. He struck trouble at Ballarat last outing but he showed with his first up victory that he is strong enough to figure in the finish. TETRA (6) had every chance after trailing the leader at Kilmore mid-week but she was meeting the smart former New Zealand trotter Justamollyarcher and battled into a distant second. She has been trotting at her peak form and should be finishing off strongly. THE MAJESTIC (7) appeared to have his chance at Kilmore last outing but his form prior was strong so he cannot be discarded. EARLY SPEED: 2 (likely leader), 1,4,7 RATINGS: 2,5/ 3/ 6/ 1,7/ 4
