Stawell Race 3

James & Lorna Mcleod Memorial Trot

Prize Money: $6,000

MYSTERY FRED (4) won at Terang two runs ago before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 1609m at Charlton, beaten 18 metres. Forgive that last effort. Good enough to put himself back in the winners' stall. RASTAMON (3) found his best form when he led from a wider barrier and kept going for a last-start win by a head at Maryborough. Can take advantage of the low draw and prove hard to catch. MAXIMEZ (5) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third at Charlton. Go well again. ICICLE (8) has been solid in two starts since a spell and should be close to peaking.

Last start was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Lair Of The Eagle at Charlton over 1609m in a NR 50 to 56 on January 15 at $3.50. Raced better the start before that where he won by a head (FT Fr3) at Terang (2:47.30) beating Old Villa Boy in No NR on December 30 at $9. Sure to play a major role.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Kvintet Hill at Melton over 1720m in a 3yo No NR CG on December 27 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Lair Of The Eagle at Charlton over 1609m in a NR 50 to 56 on January 15 at $17. Heading the right way now.
