Melton Race 6 - Vhrc Trot
KENNYS SON (5) is racing very well with a string of wins and placings since joining Brent Lilley. Good effort for third from the second row here two back then broke when runner-up last start. Won the lone attempt at this circuit and distance. Top chance. SPANISH RIZARDO (1) had this same draw when second at his latest appearance, taking his record at this venue to two wins and two placings from five attempts. Strong claims. LITTLE MISS VALLEY (3) has been hard to fault of late, winning her last two outings at Shepparton. Led from wider last time so can give a sight again from this draw. SAMMY HALLER (4) must be respected after adding to a string of wins and placings by scoring last start by 2 metres at Kilmore.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind Kennys Son at Kilmore over 2180m in a 4yo+ on May 21 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Coltrane at this track over 2240m in a 4yo+ on May 29 at $19. Leading player from the inside draw.

Has won at her last two outings. Last start posted a big 5.5 m win after showing early speed, (Fr6) at Shepparton (2:09.10) beating Walkin Understarz in on June 2 at $4.20. Hard to leave out on current form. Is among the winning hopes again.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Coltrane at this track over 2240m in a 4yo+ on May 29 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after showing early speed, behind Ijustcantseeit at Kilmore over 1690m on June 4 at $2.25. Racing well and may be tough to beat.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2 m second behind Te Amo at Kilmore over 1690m last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres fourth at Bendigo over 1650m same class on May 27. Solid top-three prospects.
