Geelong Race 2 - Betfocus Trot
KYVALLEY JETSTREAM NZ (7) put the writing on the wall with a string of placings before landing a well-deserved victory last time out, working from this barrier before going on to score by 5 metres at Melton. Can make it two on the bounce. THE SKY IS THE LIMIT (5) is racing well with five top-four finishes in succession, the latest effort a second to Kyvalley Jetstream when off the back line at Melton. Draws inside that rival here so is a chance to turn the tables. PROHIBITED GRACE (3) placed fresh before doing some work at Melton last week. Draws lower and hasn't missed a place at this distance so is worth another chance. SHES SKY HIGH (6) hasn't raced since December's Breeders Crown series where she placed in the 3F heats but was readied for her return with a trial win.

Resumes today. Her previous first-up run was successful when she won by 9 m when quickly away, (Fr4) at Melton (2:52.60) beating Midnight Eagle in 3yo+ on January 29 2024 at $4.20. Recent trials will help bring her on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.

Last start 7th (Fr5) over 2240m after showing early speed and racing wide at Melton, at the bell was leading 0 beaten 11 m by Kyvalley Jetstream (2:47.00) in NR 50 to 55 on March 6 at $4.40. At her previous start solid effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 2080m at Cranbourne, at the bell was 5th-9.2 beaten 8 m by Antonov (2:38.10) in NR 51 to 56 on February 22 at $5. Fitter and draws to play a role.

Solid run when beaten by 1.75 m finishing second behind Sky Lindy at Melton over 1720m in a 4yo+ NR up to 55 M on February 28 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Kyvalley Jetstream at Melton over 2240m in a NR 50 to 55 on March 6 at $15. Bold showing expected again.

Resuming after three months off the scene. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into tenth behind Keayang Kurki at Melton over 2240m in a 3yo G1 No NR F on December 13 at $151. Looking for a good return.

In good form recently. Last start ran on from midfield and posted a big 5 m win as favourite (Fr7) at Melton (2:47.00) beating The Sky Is The Limit in NR 50 to 55 on March 6 at $1.85 at the bell was 2nd-0. In fine form and looks a serious player again.
