Melton Race 4 - Dynamic Print Group Trot
ALRIGHTY (9) is a progressive colt who showed good improvement second-up when he led and drew clear to score by 8m at Bendigo. Tougher draw but he'll be fitter and is two from two at this circuit and distance. Can go through his grades now. BITTA IRISH LUCK (1) overcame a second-row draw for a resuming win by 1.5m here last week. The inside draw could see her deliver again. DICHOTOMY (2) took on a handy line-up last time but looks better placed having scored a win here prior. Draws to be in the finish. KYVALLEY MAVEN (10) followed a fresh win with a last-start second to DICHOTOMY. Goes well third up and is building a good record here. HOPPY (8) hasn't raced since his Victoria Derby fourth in October but goes well fresh and has been readied with three trials, winning the latest.

In good form recently. Last start won by 1.5 m (Sr1) at this track (2:46.30) beating Maoris Mac in NR 60 to 69 on June 14 at $10. Rates highly and looks hard to beat again.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr6) over 2240m at this track, beaten 13 m by Aldebaran Acrux (2:44.30) in No NR M on June 14 at $8.50. Showed ability the run before when she won by 1.5 m (Sr1) at this track (2:05.50) beating Kyvalley Maven in NR 60 to 71 on June 7 at $3.60. Has a low draw this time and can improve.
