SELECTIONS: VICI BLOOM (3), SPIRITED LASS (4), KYVALLEY MICHAEL (9), PARIS KAY (6)
OVERVIEW: VICI BLOOM (3) hits this first-up assignment on the back of two nice trials wins at Shepparton and draws to potentially find the top. She has had just the two starts for the Lisa Pitt barn, with a strong front-running victory at Shepparton followed by a mistake as a well-fancied $5.50 shot in the Gunbower Trotters Cup during December. If she leads as expected, she will be hard to beat. SPIRITED LASS (4) might finally be starting to put her bad manners in the rear-vision mirror, with her last two starts resulting in good wins here at Melton. James Herbertson is the country’s leading reinsman and has clicked with the Scott Ewen-trained mare, who shapes as a key hope in her bid for three-straight triumphs. KYVALLEY MICHAEL (9) hasn’t been beaten far his last two despite sitting parked and can certainly win, while PARIS KAY (6) is one of the gate speed runners who beat three rivals that reoppose when leading at Melton on July 18.
BACK: VICI BLOOM (3) – 2 units (win)
