COUNTRY RACING VICTORIA TROPHY
Results
Another strong race to finish and a key lead in to the Silver Bowl Final in a few weeks time. PADDYPIE (8) has been very impressive in two wins to date, backed up by big late sectionals having recorded strong time coming clear as favourite at Donald last start. Gets in nice and light here for Egan and looks one to follow, albeit the market hasn't missed him. FLYING DONE (3) stuck on bravely into a strong wind fresh behind Concord Connie then tracked wide here in the straight here last time in a strange watch. Should get slightly firmer footing here which will suit, he can bounce back. Not ruling out Paddypie's stablemate DIRNASEER (4) who charged home to dead heat here last time out and will be looming large down the outside. KALEO (2) is racing very well, the other half of the dead heat with Diranseer last start. They were ahead of Flying Done there although Dirnaseer was charging late. OBVIOUS (10) perhaps next best.

Last time out favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Donald Bm62 June 9 over 1620m on a soft track defeating Timeonlees carrying 60.5kg at $1.70. Very progressive and should measure up.
