RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Sticky gate, but KYVALLEY MICHAEL (8) is in good form for Brent Lilley and looks one of the key players in this 60-69 contest. He worked to the front and won in good style two starts back, and then flashed home from the rear of the field to just miss in a race won by ALDEBARAN SUSANNE (11) here in late August. He ran past SEBASTIANS BOY (4) on that occasion, but the latter’s effort was also good and he’s working towards a victory. SCAR (7) is flying for veteran trainer-driver Robert Young and won his second race in succession when finding the front at Geelong last Friday, while TICTOK (10) bombed the start there and did a great job to only be beaten 4.1m into third. She looks ready to win. The other key chance is KYVALLEY JETSTREAM (2), who draws well and has trialed up nicely with a Kilmore win and Melton second to handy mare Aldebaran Acrux ahead of this first-up assignment.
