Maryborough Race 2

Ralph Ford Memorial Trotters Handicap

Stake: $6,840

ATABOY CHARLIE (3) ran second last start at Horsham over 2200m, beaten 12 metres. Good enough to be right in the finish. ALFIE ALWAYS (7) was responsible for a better performance last start when second over 2190m at Shepparton, beaten 2.5 metres. Has the class to take care of this field. ROMANTIC NINA (11) was out of the money two runs ago then broke and finished sixth last start over 2150m at Bendigo, coming home 24 metres from the winner. Won't find this any harder and she can bounce back. PIESRIDINGSHOTGUN (5) is a chance after finishing in the money for the second time in a row last start, beaten 6 metres into third at Bendigo.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Frosty Girl at Stawell over 2180m in a No NR on September 15 at $3.10. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Mecarno at Horsham over 2200m in a NR 50 or better on October 6 at $4. Can improve. Expected to feature again.

Fair performance when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Champagnes at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 45 on October 13 at $23. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Champagne Charley at Bendigo over 2150m in a No NR on October 22 at $9.50. Great chance to score an overdue win.

Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr7) over 2190m after being wide early at this track beaten 13 m by The Fiery Sunset (2:48.00) in NR 40 to 47 on September 22 at $8.50. Before that, 4th (Fr3) over 1690m at Kilmore, beaten 30 m by Faith Full (2:04.80) in NR up to 49 M on September 11 at $10. Worthy of consideration.

Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr6) over 1720m after being wide early at Melton, beaten 17 m by Ringer Wells (2:05.70) in NR 50 to 55 on October 24 at $51. Before that, 11th (Sr4) over 1650m at Bendigo well beaten by Centurion Dream (2:01.30) in NR 48 to 53 on September 24 at $12. Rates highly on best form and he is a major player.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start was well beaten after breaking at Bendigo on October 22. The run before 12th (FT Fr4) over 2190m at this track, well beaten by Hatchback (2:47.40) in NR 50 or better on October 13 at $4.40. Big chance in this line-up.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Last start 7th (Sr1) over 1609m at Geelong was 7th-12.72 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Enchauffour (1:58.90) in NR 55 to 60 on October 17 at $81. Two runs back 5th (10m Fr4) over 2200m at Ballarat, at the bell was 5th-8.8m 2WWC beaten 8 m by Link In Bio (2:50.40) in No NR on July 10 at $10. Will take a lot from that run; in the mix.
