Urged to the front early at Kilmore by reinswoman Moniquue Burnett, Have No Choice was able to keep his all rivals at bay in the run to the judge over the 2180m trip.

● PUNTERS who backed Rochester-trained trotter Willdoxav at last week’s Shepparton meeting did some sweating before collecting their winnings.

The four-year-old Tennotrumps gelding raced on the pace for the 2190m trip and prevailed in a bob-of-the-head finish with the pacemaker and favourite Aldebaran Alissa.
Despite seconds at Bendigo and Shepparton in his previous two starts, Willdomxav paid a handsome $11.70 for the win.
His two wins from 20 starts have been on the Shepparton track.
