Melton Race 7 - Aldebaran Park Need For Speed Prince (3yo Colts & Geldings) (2nd Heat)

KYVALLEY RAY NZ (7) is a Victorian but has done most of his racing in NZ where he won six of eight starts including the Group 1 double of the Sires Stakes and Northern Derby in his last two outings in May. Draws wide but was readied with three nice trials so looking for a winning return. TIMMY WHIZ (2) did well to finish third at big odds last start in the Group 1 Vicbred Final. He strikes at 50 per cent at this shorter distance and draws to advantage. REVERAND BOB (3) didn't do a bad job when fourth from a tough barrier at Ballarat last time out. Better served by this draw. ITZ CLASSIC GOLD (1) overcame a back row barrier for a last-start win at Ballarat and draws to enjoy the favours.

Last start won by a head (Sr2) at Ballarat (2:46.50) beating Muscle Valley in 3yo on September 16 at $4 at the bell was 4th-3.83. In winning form and from the ace draw looks a serious player again.

Last start 4th (Sr4) over 2200m at Ballarat was 3rd-2.1 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Zoolu (2:47.20) in 3yo on September 16 at $5. Before that, 5th (Fr7) over 2240m after racing wide at this track beaten 20 m by Munny The Munster (2:49.90) in 3yo on September 4 at $12. Go well from the low draw.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following September 12 run. Last start won by 12 m as favourite (Fr6) at Charlton (2:38.70) beating Franks Alot in on September 21 at $1.75 at the bell was leading 1.8. This race will be harder than that win. Prepared to risk.
