AU1 - Maryborough - Race 5

SMOKING SHANNON (1) had been out of the money in recent runs before the latest appearance when she scored by 9 metres over 1 m at Shepparton after having led all of the way. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Primary contender in a similar assignment. OWEN THE SAINTS (4) finished fourth last start over 1m at Charlton, beaten 4 metres, after a modest fourth at Shepparton the run prior. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat. MARIANA (9) after leading for most of the trip score by 5 metres over 1m at Cranbourne last start at her first race start. Strips fitter and can go on with the job. OLIVIA ROSE (5) last appeared when she scored by 4 metres over 1 m at Terang eight months ago. Should be thereabouts. Include in combinations.
