RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: PRETTYBOY HARRY (3) has been going great guns since joining the Ashley Manton stable and looks like proving hard to catch if he can find the front here. He led and won second-up for the stable at Kilmore on May 7 and gave a good kick from the front last time at Melton but was run down at the end of 2240m by winner Muskee and KYVALLEY MICHAEL (10), who flashed late to grade second. The step back in distance might be telling here, particularly if he works to the lead as expected. KYVALLEY MICHAEL (10) is very ready to win a race and just needs the right tempo to be running home over the top, ALDEBARAN ABEL (1) won well first-up at Kilmore and gets a lovely draw, while the handy SAM NIEN (5) resumed with a really good third to Group 1 winner Pastor Dunbar at Melton last weekend and is a huge chance with a bit of luck from a sticky gate.
