RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: A competitive trot opens a big 10-race card at Bendigo. KYVALLEY MICHAEL (10) is a smart trotter on his day and has the best sectional times in this event. He hit the line well in a stronger race at Melton on Saturday night last start. The barrier is awkward and he will need some luck, but he is racing well. MAJESTIC TOOTH (7) is another runner dropping in class. She has great gate speed and the potential to map positively here. ROCKY VALLEY (9) has been racing well enough and has an ideal barrier to follow through early. ROMANTIC NINA (4) is a nice mare when she trots throughout. She was a last-start winner and comes into this race with confidence. Also respecting progressive mare THE ITALIAN DREAM (1) from the ace barrier, proven performer SAM NIEN (12) and in-form mare SAMMY HALLER (6), who steps up in class here.
