Melton Race 7 - Betavet Trot
KENNYS SON (10) made a winning start for the new yard when he led and cruised to a maiden win by 14 metres at this venue. Draws out a little on the second line so may need luck at some point but looks capable of going through his grades. ALLWATFUNJINGLES (6) added to a long string of top-four finishes and made it three placings on the trot when second and just a head from the winner here last week. Draws wider but can make an impact again. MAJOR MAX (4) draws better than last start and did a good job to win at Bendigo prior. STEADY DREAM (1) has been coming wider of second line draws so can improve from the inside barrier.

Can play a role from the ace draw.

Good run when beaten by 4 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Major Max at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR up to 36 on April 8 at $3.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Little Tedey at this track over 2240m in a NR up to 35 on April 15 at $1.85. Has a low draw and should go well again.

Solid performance when a close second behind Massif Central at this track over 1720m in a NR 36 to 40 on April 15 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Buslin Brody at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR up to 50 on April 22 at $15. Honest and is a winning chance.
