RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: KYVALLEY MAVEN (6) was runner up in the Super Series Final last season and he won effortlessly against easier grade when he was resuming at Horsham. He is a quality 4yo trotter and should be in for a prosperous campaign. DICHOTOMY (8) attempted to lead throughout from the pole position when second behind Mega Spur last week. That was her first run since a New South Wales campaign and she should go well again. ILLAWONG STARDUST (9) hasn’t raced since being unplaced behind El Resamo at Melton in April but most of her efforts during her last campaign were at open class level so she rates as a value hope against this line up. CALL ME JACK (5) is capable of sprinting to the line quickly with the right trail forward and has claims along with LINK IN BIO (2) and ROYAL CHARLOTTE (3) EARLY SPEED: 2 (Possible leader), 3,4 RATINGS: 6,8/ 2,3,9/ 7 Race 11: OVERVIEW: CALEXICO (7) is race fit and in peak form so he gets the nod over his two main rivals in VINEY (6) and FORTY LOVE (8), both of which are resuming. CALEXICO (7) has won five of his nine starts for the season and worked hard when a close second behind Crime Writer at his latest attempt. FORTY LOVE (8) is resuming since a third behind CALEXICO (7) in March. He finished second in the Caduceus Classic earlier in the season so he is a quality colt and he was runner up at a recent Horsham trial effort. VINEY (6) made several errors and should have won when a nose second ($1-15 fav) at Geelong in March. He won a trial shortly afterwards before heading for a spell and he finished fourth in the Breeders Crown Final last season so he cannot be underestimated. KEAYANG HOLLYWOOD (1), CROCODILE SOCKS (2) and IN AN IDEAL WORLD (3) are all in winning form so it is a top race to end the program. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 1,2,7 RATINGS: 7/ 6,8/ 1/ 2,3
