Maryborough Race 2

Benstud Standardbreds Vicbred Voucher Mares Pace

Prize Money: $7,000

JILLIBY ILLUSION (6) impressed when successful at Bendigo two runs ago then settled back and failed to finish off well enough at her latest appearance over 2270m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 4.5 metres into fourth. Has the class to take this out. ASMILEANDAWINX (5) finished ninth two starts ago then recorded a comfortable victory last time out, scoring by 8 metres over 1690m at this track. Steps up a level but she is up to the task. STARZINHEREYES (7) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 2180m at Terang last time out. Each-way claims. WE FAVOUR ROSIE (3) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1790m at Ararat last time out.

Scored at her last two starts. Last start won by 4.5 m as favourite (Fr4) at Shepparton (2:04.60) beating Wingate Guy in on September 1 at $3.90. Hard to leave out on current form. Is among the chances again.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Keayang Hungry at Hamilton over 2160m on August 10 at $7. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Grinning Beach Boy at Ararat over 1790m on August 23 at $15. Can improve. Top chance in this line-up.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr6) over 2270m at Riverina Paceway was 8th-15.1 at the bell, beaten 4.5 m by Titiwha (2:45.60) on August 21 at $7. Two runs back won by 2.5 m (Sr2) at Bendigo (1:59.50) beating Divine Tilly in M on July 1 at $3 at the bell was 3rd-3.31. Rates highly. Can bounce back to form.
