Melton Race 9 - Irt Australia Trot

Open race with plenty of chances. The recent form of COCONUT MICKEY (1) may not leap off the page but he has been coming from wider or second line barriers. Tends to do his best work at this distance and is well served by the ace draw. RARITY ROCK (2) had a tough barrier when midfield last start. He'll enjoy this better draw having come from a similar barrier to win easily in this grade at Cranbourne two back. FARROKH (8) should find this easier than his latest appearances and managed a placing here three back. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. Could be dangerous. KYVALLEY MICHAEL NZ (5) broke last start so will need to get it right but will be fitter for recent racing.
