Maryborough Race 1

Mcphersons Printing Group 2yo Trot

Stake: $7,200

ALDEBARAN EMJAY (6) is looking to improve on her last-start fourth behind Bumper Crop at Listed level over 1740m at Riverina Paceway 12 weeks ago after she broke under pressure in the run home. Won on debut as the $1.50 favourite two runs back after racing outside the leader at the bell. Rates as the one to beat. SHEEZ ONE OF US (2) made a good start to her career two weeks ago, beaten 1.5 metres into second over 1690m at Shepparton when after leading early raced in behind the leader at the bell. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Primary contender in a similar race. KYVALLEY DIXON (7) is the next elect off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at Melton over 1720m when sent out at long odds. CLOUDY CANYON (5) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth in a tougher line-up over 1720m at Melton last time out after he raced in behind the leader at the bell. Each-way claims.

Last start 4th (Fr4) over 1720m after showing early pace at Melton beaten 30 m by Kyvalley Dixon (2:07.90) in 2yo on July 11 at $15. Two runs back tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose when quickly away, (Fr3) at Cranbourne (2:43.30) beating War Dan Phoenix in on July 5 at $4 at the bell was 3rd-4.4. Capable of playing a major role.
