Horsham Race 2 - Vale Barry Dunn Trot
KYVALLEY MAVEN (6) returns after 18 months on the sidelines but showed talent as a juvenile, winning both the Home Grown Classic and Tatlow Stakes and placing in a Vicbred Super Series Final. Close-up in a recent trial and will be hard to stop if he returns anywhere near his best. JUST ABIT DUSTY (5) has had nearly six weeks off since he worked and finished midfield last start and had led from a similar draw to this when he scored at Maryborough two starts earlier. His best form measures right up. BOUTIKA (4) was second from this barrier last-start at Ballarat and strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit. SONARMI JOH (7) added to some solid form when he led from a similar draw and boxed on to place last week at Terang.

Well-beaten 11 days ago at Melton over 2240m, and two back 6th (FT Fr1) over 2150m at Kilmore beaten 22 m by Johns Boy (2:46.40) in No NR on May 15 at $11. This looks too tough.

Improved last start with a good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr4) over 2200m at Ballarat was 3rd-7.4 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Romantic Nina (2:46.10) in NR up to 59 on May 22 at $5. Nice effort last time. Bold showing expected again.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th (20m Fr2) over 2180m at Stawell was 2nd-1.5m 2WNC at the bell, beaten 9 m by Surprise To Me (2:51.90) in No NR on April 18 at $3.40. The run previous was well beaten after breaking at Melton on April 11. A better run is on the cards.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Apex at Ararat over 2165m in a No NR on May 14 at $41. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Jack Sprat at Terang over 2180m in a NR up to 59 on May 19 at $18. Genuine threat.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Apex at Ararat over 2165m in a No NR on May 14 at $14. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after being driven well back, behind Jack Sprat at Terang over 2180m in a NR up to 59 on May 19 at $41. Has the ability to take this out.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (10m Fr2) over 2165m at Ararat, beaten 30 m by Apex (2:50.10) in No NR on May 14 at $41. Before that was well beaten after breaking at Geelong on May 2. This looks a far sterner task.
