GOING: N

HAMILTON LAUNDRY & DRY CLEANERS TROT 2160m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 24)    

JILLIBY DREAMLOVER (5) is a lightly-raced but progressive filly who spanked her rivals in a maiden win two back before a 2.3m second at Bendigo last time. Draws wider but has more upside than most of these. OLD VILLA BOY (6) has been knocking on the door for a while and went close in a higher-graded race last time at Melton, finishing third from this barrier and just 2.3 metres from the winner. Major player. MY HIGH PEAK (4) scored back-to-back wins earlier in the campaign and looks close to another success after placing in the last two outings, missing by just a nose from the back line last time. SONARMI JOH (8) deserves respect off good form in SA including a win two back at Mt Gambier.
