Melton Race 7 - Mimosa Homes Trot

KEAYANG LAVITA (5) was unplaced two starts ago then things went wrong last start when she broke and finished 12 metres away in ninth over 1690m at Kilmore. Big chance if she behaves in this similar assignment. KYVALLEY MAVEN (4) finished eighth last start over 1690m at Kilmore, beaten 10 metres, after a good third at Ballarat the run prior. Primary contender if he is at his best. QUIRKY CHARACTER (8) is the next elect off a last-start win by 2.5 metres at Kilmore over 1690m. HEZA GUN (3) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 2190m at Maryborough.
