Prize Money: $15,000

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.

Last start 8th (Sr2) over 1720m at this track well beaten by Mitchell Wrap (2:06.40) in NR 60 to 75 on January 10 at $3. Before that, a good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m after showing early speed and racing wide at Cranbourne was 2nd-1.1 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Freight Shaker (1:57.10) in NR 60 to 69 on January 3 at $3.70. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Winning chance on his best form.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 9th (Fr3) over 1690m after racing wide at Kilmore, at the bell was 11th-18.1 beaten 12 m by Quirky Character (2:04.40) in NR 70 to 85 on February 7 at $3.50. The run previous 10th (Fr3) over 2200m at Ballarat beaten 70 m by Jilliby Dreamlover (2:42.00) in NR 70 to 85 on January 24 at $12. Has a strong record at this track and distance so worth another chance.

Going well. Last start won just off the speed and boxed on; won by a head after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Maryborough (2:45.00) beating Keayang Gypsy in NR 57 to 66 on February 11 at $4.60 at the bell was 2nd-1.2. Has to be respected.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr3) over 2200m after showing early pace at Ballarat, at the bell was 4th-5.09 beaten 10 m by Jilliby Ballerini (2:44.30) in 4-5yo LR No NR on January 24 at $61. Two runs back posted a big 5.5 m win when quickly away, (Fr6) at Geelong (2:39.00) beating Heza Gun in 1W/15 0K stake on January 16 at $10 at the bell was leading 3.43. Not keen.

Comments

Comes here in the right form. Tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.5 m when quickly away, (Fr1) at Kilmore (2:04.40) beating Mister Blindside in NR 70 to 85 on February 7 at $4.80 at the bell was 3rd-4.4. Two runs back posted a big 4 m win as favourite (Sr4) at this track (2:46.20) beating Spirited Lass in NR 56 to 64 on January 30 at $2.15 at the bell was 6th-8.22. Sure to go well.
