RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Very tricky race to work out, but KYVALLEY MICHAEL (10) is going really well and broke through for a big win in easier grade last Friday at Melton when he was able to roll around and find the front. He’d run a number of other good races prior to that, and with the expected solid tempo here, he can be a major factor late. SPIRITED LASS (1) was caught parked and dropped out late in her bid for three-straight wins last time at Melton but can improve sharply from gate one, ARTIGAS (8) won a recent trial at Maryborough ahead of this assignment and did score well three times in-a-row before a freshen, while the consistent ROCKY VALLEY (6), the first-up CLAUDYS HERO (7) and fast-starting pair ALDEBARAN SUSANNE (4) and PROHIBITED GRACE (3) headline the others that can threaten with the right luck. Wide Quaddie leg!
