Kilmore Race 9

Picklebet 'Get Your Pickle On' Pace

Prize Money: $8,000

BETTORLEFTALONE (4) is taking on a far easier race this time after finishing 11th in a Group One at his latest appearance over 2760m at Melton, beaten 50 metres by Dynamitedan. Should enjoy a lovely run and looks hard to beat. REFUSAL (3) ran fifth last start at Melton over 2240m, beaten 12 metres. Having her first start at this track and expecting her to be prominent. MAHINDI NZ (6) is racing in good form this prep and must be considered after she finished third over 1660m at Albion Park two-and-a-half weeks ago. WITH IN REASON (7) can feature with even luck from a wide draw.

Last start solid effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 1660m after showing early speed at Albion Park, beaten 6 m by Lilstrepo (1:55.80) in 4yo+ on October 10 at $4.60. Two runs back won by 24 m (Sr3) at Redcliffe (2:07.90) beating Commodore Jujon in 3yo+ on October 7 at $2.70 at the bell was leading 7.1. Racing very well. Another strong performance expected.
