SELECTIONS: SOLOTREKK (1), REVERAND BOB (2), ITZ CLASSIC GOLD (5), TIMMY WHIZ (10)
OVERVIEW: Here’s a $14,000 final for heats run at Maryborough and Kilmore recently, and it shapes as a cracking contest to start the night at Victorian harness HQ. SOLOTREKK (1) lands gate one under the random barrier draw and he looks to have a super chance based off his two starts this campaign. He was a good winner first-up at Bendigo beating REVERAND BOB (2) and then charged home from back in the field in the Maryborough heat of this series, looking the winner before being grabbed in a photo by ITZ CLASSIC GOLD (5). REVERAND BOB (2) looks the likely leader and is running very consistently of late, ITZ CLASSIC GOLD (5) won the Maryborough heat and also beat the flying Champagnes before that, while talented youngster TIMMY WHIZ (10) made up really good ground for third in the Kilmore qualifier after making a break at the start first-up from a spell. MISTER DEVEREAUX (9) won that event and is the other key hope.
