Melton Race 10 - Need For Speed Noms On Harnessweb Trot
KYVALLEY MAVEN (6) made a winning return to the track at his latest appearance over 2200m at Horsham, scoring by 2 metres after being up on the pace. Needs to be at his best to beat this field, but he is up to the challenge. DICHOTOMY (8) was prominent from the outset last start and finished runner-up, beaten 2.75 metres, in a far better performance at this track over 2240m. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane. Primary contender in this comparable race. ROYAL CHARLOTTE (3) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1650m at Bendigo last time out. LINK IN BIO (2) has drawn to advantage and should give backers a great sight. Include in all multiples to be safe.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr3) over 2150m at Bendigo was 3rd-6.38 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Royal Charlotte (2:41.90) in NR 55 to 64 on May 21 at $9. Before that 7th (10m Fr1) over 2150m at Bendigo beaten 30 m by Tictok (2:43.90) in No NR on April 30 at $21. Would prefer to see a return to form before recommending.

Looks well placed in this tougher race, but she was impressive winning two starts back [-+] came from midfield and won by 1.2 m (Sr1) at Bendigo (2:41.90) beating Link In Bio in NR 55 to 64 on May 21 at $5 at the bell was leading 4.25. Sure to play a major role.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Susan Is Her Name at Menangle over 1609m in a G1 No NR M on May 10 at $126. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Mega Spur at this track over 2240m in a NR 60 to 69 on May 31 at $2.80. Heading the right way and is a leading player.
