RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: VYTIS (5) was a Group 1 winner as a two-year-old who closed his three-year-old season in really good style with a couple of great runs behind one of the emerging stars of the trotting gait, Mecarno. In one, he flashed home late to be beaten 3.4m and the other he sat parked and was only defeated 8.2m. Before that, he thrashed rivals in the Vicbred Super Series Bronze Final. He’s a good horse on the rise and happy his way. KYVALLEY MAVEN (7) is starting to deliver on his big wraps but does have a tricky gate to deal with, while stablemates FREIGHT SHAKER (8) and SEBASTIANS WAITING (6) are both in super form and head the other chances. BACK: VYTIS (5) – 2 units (win)
