Swan Hill Race 5 - Skyvalley @ Aldebaran Park Mdn Pace
MILEY KAY (2) came from a wider barrier for third on debut at Melton before finding a Vicbred heat too tough at her latest appearance. Freshened since but was kept ticking over with a solid trial. Should enjoy an economical run from this draw and she is suited coming back to maiden grade. MEGALODON (1) had a tricky draw last time but is much better served here having come from similar barrier to this to place in his first two outings. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. SLOWBURN (6) didn't do a bad job when midfield in a higher-graded race last time out. Had kicked off his career with a series of top-four results and while drawn wide he'll enjoy dropping to maiden company. CAZADERO (7) strips fitter so may improve at start number two.

Last start was well beaten into fifth behind Tombeur at Cranbourne over 2080m on October 4 at $7.50. Raced better the start before that with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 2240m at Melton was 4th-11.65 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Sandelton (2:47.30) in 3yo on September 25 at $9. Should get every chance from the ace draw.
