GOING:

GOLDEN GAIT AGED TROT R55 - R85 MOBILE TROT 1609m

Track: GOOD      

HILLBILLY BLUES (3) was very impressive with an easy victory here last week, giving him two wins and a close second in three starts here since a spell. He'll be at peak fitness now and a good draw gives him every chance to repeat. BELLE NEIGE (7) has placed in both starts since a spell, clocking in second in last week's G1 Queen of Diamonds against the girls. Had finished off last campaign with a string of wins here and she strikes at 50 per cent when third up so could be ready for a return to the winners' list. AMERICAN MUSCLE (8) wasn't too far behind Belle Neige when third in the Queen Of Diamonds and came from a similar draw to this when winning over 1700m here prior. WALKINONSUNSHINE (4) continued her consistent form when fourth in the Queen of Diamonds and draws to be competitive again.
