Melton Race 9 - Haras Des Trotteurs 2Yo Trot
KYVALLEY RAY (5) made a good impression on debut when he led and drew away to score by more than 7m over a similar distance at Maryborough. Draws wider but should be better for the experience so can go through his grades. TRUSCOTTS ELEGANCE (3) has done well to come from wider barriers and finish in the top-two in her last three outings including a win at Bendigo. Draws to make an impact. ELLE PERFECTO (2) sat parked when runner-up to Kyvalley Ray on debut. Draws well and is open to improvement. NORTHERN TRUSCOTT (9) draws on the back row but is a player off the last-start win. Something for the Multiples: KYVALLEY RAY NZ (5)

Well beaten last start by Northern Truscott, a rival who she faces again; when 165 metres eighth at Bendigo over 1650m in a 2yo 0-1 WIN race on April 9. Can't have on that basis.

Two-year-old filly facing the starter for the second time. At debut solid effort despite hanging in on scoring up, when 2nd (Fr3) over 1690m at Maryborough, at the bell was 4th-7.2 beaten 7 m by Kyvalley Ray (2:07.70) in 2yo MAIDEN on April 2 at $11. Rates highly. Big chance.

Last start game effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr6) over 1650m at Bendigo was 5th-11.84 at the bell, beaten 4 m by Northern Truscott (2:05.40) in 2yo 0-1 WIN on April 9 at $4.80. Two runs back won by 4.5 m (Fr7) at Bendigo (2:06.60) beating Northern Truscott in 2yo 0-1 WIN on March 19 at $5.50 at the bell was 3rd-8.3m on the pegs. Has the right credentials to take this out.

Was on debut by 7 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Maryborough (2:07.70) beating Elle Perfecto in 2yo MAIDEN on April 2 at $1.25 at the bell was leading 4.8. Another win looks on the cards.

Well-beaten 10 days ago at Bendigo over 1650m, and two back 4th (Fr5) over 1650m at Bendigo was 6th-16.9m + at the bell, beaten 14 m by Truscotts Elegance (2:06.60) in 2yo 0-1 WIN on March 19 at $3. Recent efforts only moderate - hard to see her featuring in the finish.

Last start won a big 4 m win (Sr1) at Bendigo (2:05.40) beating Truscotts Elegance in 2yo 0-1 WIN on April 9 at $34 at the bell was 6th-12.37. Worth plenty of thought.
