Melton Race 6

2Construct Trot

Prize Money: $4,000

FLING IT RAINBOW (4) worked forward from a similar barrier to find the lead and kept kicking only to find one better last start at this circuit. That was his third successive placing so the hoof is on the till. Can go one better. BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE (3) had a tough draw on the back row last time so there was plenty of merit in the effort to finish fourth at this circuit. Has the benefit of a good draw. Strong claims.. FLOATING MOUNTAIN (8) draws for a trail and is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance at Ballarat. MASSIF CENTRAL (1) came from this barrier when runner-up here last time. Go well again.

Solid run when beaten by 2.5 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Touchandgo at Maryborough over 2190m in a NR up to 36 on April 14 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Against The Bridle at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 45 on April 25 at $18. Draws the pegs and is a chance to go one better.

Didn't do much last start, 8th (Fr2) over 1720m at this track beaten 25 m by Blanco Canyon (2:09.00) in NR up to 45 on April 25 at $51. Before that was well beaten after breaking at Stawell on April 18. Unlikely to threaten.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3.5 m second behind Blanco Canyon at this track over 1720m NR up to 45 last start. Before that was beaten a head second at Stawell over 2180m in No NR on April 18. Ready to win.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 8th (Fr6) over 2180m after showing early pace at Kilmore well beaten by Dona Amalia (2:48.10) in NR up to 49 on May 1 at $18. Before that, failed to finish when he ran at this track on April 25 over 1720m. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Capable of a better showing.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after showing early speed, behind Keayang Lavita at Terang over 2180m in a NR up to 50 on February 14 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Oopzee Daizee at Ballarat over 2200m in a NR up to 49 on April 17 at $8. Likely to play a major role.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
