Birchip Race 1

Jack Donnellon Memorial Maiden Trot

Prize Money: $6,000

FRANC (6) finished second last start, beaten 8 metres at Boort over 2250m. Good enough to take out a race like this. COLUMBIAS GONZALES (2) finished sixth at Cranbourne two runs ago before a comparable effort at his latest appearance over 2080m at Cranbourne, beaten 55 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and he can turn in a much better performance. YOSHIDA (1) was out of the money two runs ago and then broke and finished fourth last start over 2250m at Boort, coming home 13 metres from the winner. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Only needs to get things right to be in the money. BLONDIES BLIS (4) must be considered after he finished third when resuming over 2100m at Charlton a week-and-a-half ago. Include in all combinations.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Muskee at Cranbourne over 1609m in a 3yo+ MAIDEN on February 23 at $26. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind El Bravo at Cranbourne over 2080m in a MAIDEN on March 2 at $5.50. Better than recent form suggests.
