Melton Race 9 - Lamaros Hotel 2yo Mdn Trot
DONNYOSKO (4) ran fourth last start at Maryborough over 1690m, beaten 9 metres. Big chance in this comparable race. KYVALLEY DRIFTER (1) faces the starter for the first time. By Tactical Landing and hails from the Chris Svanosio stable. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Has strong trial form coming into this. Capable of taking this out. LUSTROUS (5) is a two-year-old colt by Zirconium Ita from Twelve Or A Dozen on debut. Placed in a recent trial. Will be right there at the business end. SNOWIN (3) lines up for the first time. By Bold Eagle and hails from the Andy Gath stable. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Showed some ability when a minor placegetter in a recent trial. Will be ready to run a big race.
