NOEL EVANS MEMORIAL TROT 2160m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 25)    

MANDA KYVALLEY (6) made it two wins from her last six runs six days ago, getting home by 5.5 metres over 1690m at Maryborough. Taking on a better field but she is capable of running another big race. ALABAMA MAY (2) finished second last start over 2180m at Kilmore, beaten 12 metres, after also filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 2200m at Ballarat. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Good enough to put herself in the winners' stall. RASTAMON (1) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1690m at Maryborough last time out. JUST A JOURNEY (7) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth when resuming over 1650m at Bendigo on April 1.
