RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Second heat of the Need For Speed Prince and here we see the return of KYVALLEY RAY (7) to Victorian racing. He has proven a star in New Zealand by winning three Group 1 races and steps out for his first start since May. To be honest, I’d like to have seen a bit more from him in three trials at Melton, but he goes on top based on what he’s done so far in his career. Do I want to take likely short odds about him? Probably not, but he’s the one to beat. TIMMY WHIZ (2) has the gate speed to lead and gripped on to finish third in the Group 1 Vicbred final behind Howdy Mate last time out, REVERAND BOB (3) went rough when seemingly in a striking position last week at Ballarat but has been very competitive in most of his starts this campaign, while ITZ CLASSIC GOLD (1) got the perfect run to beat MUSCLE VALLEY (8) at the same meeting and draws for a lovely trip on the fence. PASS THE SALT (5), who was a good second in the Vicbred Silver at Bray Raceway, and HAMMER (6), who trailed okay behind Pastor Dunbar at Shepparton ahead of this first-up run, are the other outside hopes.
