OVERVIEW: If you’re still feeling slightly dubious about former Kiwi trotter VALLEY STAR (12) please don’t judge yourself. We all are. At his Aussie debut Andy Gath’s new mate found the front and also found success but didn’t wow us in the process. The, after bombing the start, the 7YO gelding impressed us slightly more in his defeat. Based on talent, he should find his way to winning this comparatively lowly assessed contest, but there are plenty others who can bomb him with some fortune. Chief among them are the highly gifted but also somewhat mercurial GOLDEN SUNSET (13) and also DOWNUNDER BARKERS (3) who trialled recently for new mentor Chris Angove like he’s set to glide the grades. Lesser hopes also go to the quirky but talented CYCLONE S ADAMS (10) and also potential leader FLASH KYVALLEY (5) but, once again, up to 10 of the 12 combatants could prevail without surprising at all.

OVERVIEW: If you’re still feeling slightly dubious about former Kiwi trotter VALLEY STAR (12) please don’t judge yourself. We all are. At his Aussie debut Andy Gath’s new mate found the front and also found success but didn’t wow us in the process. The, after bombing the start, the 7YO gelding impressed us slightly more in his defeat. Based on talent, he should find his way to winning this comparatively lowly assessed contest, but there are plenty others who can bomb him with some fortune. Chief among them are the highly gifted but also somewhat mercurial GOLDEN SUNSET (13) and also DOWNUNDER BARKERS (3) who trialled recently for new mentor Chris Angove like he’s set to glide the grades. Lesser hopes also go to the quirky but talented CYCLONE S ADAMS (10) and also potential leader FLASH KYVALLEY (5) but, once again, up to 10 of the 12 combatants could prevail without surprising at all.

OVERVIEW: If you’re still feeling slightly dubious about former Kiwi trotter VALLEY STAR (12) please don’t judge yourself. We all are. At his Aussie debut Andy Gath’s new mate found the front and also found success but didn’t wow us in the process. The, after bombing the start, the 7YO gelding impressed us slightly more in his defeat. Based on talent, he should find his way to winning this comparatively lowly assessed contest, but there are plenty others who can bomb him with some fortune. Chief among them are the highly gifted but also somewhat mercurial GOLDEN SUNSET (13) and also DOWNUNDER BARKERS (3) who trialled recently for new mentor Chris Angove like he’s set to glide the grades. Lesser hopes also go to the quirky but talented CYCLONE S ADAMS (10) and also potential leader FLASH KYVALLEY (5) but, once again, up to 10 of the 12 combatants could prevail without surprising at all.

OVERVIEW: If you’re still feeling slightly dubious about former Kiwi trotter VALLEY STAR (12) please don’t judge yourself. We all are. At his Aussie debut Andy Gath’s new mate found the front and also found success but didn’t wow us in the process. The, after bombing the start, the 7YO gelding impressed us slightly more in his defeat. Based on talent, he should find his way to winning this comparatively lowly assessed contest, but there are plenty others who can bomb him with some fortune. Chief among them are the highly gifted but also somewhat mercurial GOLDEN SUNSET (13) and also DOWNUNDER BARKERS (3) who trialled recently for new mentor Chris Angove like he’s set to glide the grades. Lesser hopes also go to the quirky but talented CYCLONE S ADAMS (10) and also potential leader FLASH KYVALLEY (5) but, once again, up to 10 of the 12 combatants could prevail without surprising at all.
