Some 28 of his latest 29 race starts have been in listed and group company.
And nothing will change when he lines up in the group 3 $25,000 John Slack Memorial Trotters' Cup, 2200, in Ballarat on Saturday night.
Kyvalley Blur will be the one to run down in the eight-strong field for Bolinda trainer Brent Lilley and champion reinsman Anthony Butt.
Originally from New Zealand, Butt has had his share of success at Bray Raceway, including wins in the Ballarat Pacing Cup with Stunin Cullen in 2011 and Mah Sish in 2013.
Kyvalley Blur would given him his first win the John Slack Memorial Trotters' Cup - the Ballarat and District Trotting Club's premier race for squaregaiters.
The seven-year-old rarely puts in a bad race these days.
He had back-to-back wins in the EB Cochran Trotters Cup and Uncle Petrika Free-For-All at Melton before a last-start third in the Bruce Skeggs Memorial Cup at Cranbourne on May 16.
Avenel trainer David Aiken has the main dangers in My High Expectations and The Boss Man.
My High Expectations has been one of the best performed trotters in Victoria in the past three seasons, but has struggled this campaign - not winning since October and only being placed once in that period.
The BDTC has programmed 10 races, but Harness Racing Victoria was forced to delete a 2yo feature race owing to a lack of numbers.
