Hamilton Race 2

Alexandra House Sports Club Trotters Handicap

Prize Money: $6,000

KAMARAN (6) made it two straight wins last start when he got the cash by 3.5 metres over 2180m at Stawell. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. STEPBYSTEP (8) returns from a spell of four months. Last raced when he scored by 15 metres over 2190m at Maryborough. Well-placed to open this campaign with a win. BROWN EYED KATE (1) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a head at Mt Gambier over 1780m. LADY SUSPICIOUS (7) is in the mix following a respectable second at her most recent appearance over 1780m at Mt Gambier.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (Fr3) over 1780m after showing early speed at Mt Gambier was leading by 4.2 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Brown Eyed Kate (2:16.50) in NR up to 45 on April 7 at $13. Before that 8th (Fr6) over 1690m at Maryborough, beaten 30 m by Playa Del Carmen (2:07.00) in NR up to 36 on March 30 at $12. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Champagnes at Maryborough over 2190m in a NR 37 to 41 on March 30 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Brown Eyed Kate at Mt Gambier over 1780m in a NR up to 45 on April 7 at $8.50. Leading player.

Seven-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Stawell and Ararat. Last start ran on from midfield and posted a big 3.5 m win as favourite (10m Fr1) at Stawell (2:51.00) beating Fremarks Peggy in No NR on April 3 at $2.25 at the bell was 3rd-2.6. Is the testing material.
