Shepparton Race 2 - Ivan Russel & Jess Hogan Trotters Hcp
KENNYS SON (9) went back last start then worked home fairly to finish 25 metres from the winner in sixth at Melton over 2240m, that effort following a good win at this track the run prior. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. KYVALLEY MISTY (3) went back last start then worked home fairly to finish 23 metres from the winner in fifth at Melton over 2240m, that effort following a modest fourth at Kilmore the run prior. Facing a tougher assignment but she is up to the task. STRAIGHT TO THETOP (7) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Kilmore over 2180m. Genuine threat. WATCH AND ACT (8) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 2100m at Charlton on September 21.

Didn't do much at the last run, 10th (Fr2) over 2190m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 30 m by Aldebaran Denbay (2:47.10) on September 29 at $81. Before that 9th (Fr5) over 2180m at Kilmore, beaten 30 m by Fling It Rainbow (2:47.00) on August 13 at $8. Has the task ahead.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr1) over 1690m after showing early speed at Kilmore, at the bell was 3rd-5.73 beaten 12 m by I Am Harro (2:06.80) on September 24 at $14. Showed ability the run before when he won by a head as favourite (Fr6) at Kilmore (2:09.70) beating Little Tedey in on September 10 at $2.40. Solid top-three prospects.

Didn't do much last start, surrendered the lead and finished 8th (20m) over 2575m at Cranbourne beaten 25 m by Maestro (3:22.10) on October 4 at $11. Before that 4th (Fr2) over 2240m at Melton, at the bell was 6th-10.53 beaten 12 m by Dels Destiny (2:48.00) on September 18 at $34. Hard to have on those efforts.

Last start was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Dels Destiny at Melton over 2240m on September 18 at $4. Performed better the start before where he won by 8 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (2:04.10) beating Jilliby Topgun in on August 25 at $2.50 at the bell was leading 4.22. Go on the win two back.
