Melton Race 5

Benstud Standardbreds Pace

Prize Money: $10,000

STORMS COLLIDE (4) resumes after tackling some smart three-year-olds last time in. Led from wider to win a NSW Derby heat at Menangle to kick off the last campaign, taking his fresh statistics to two wins and a placing from three attempts. Readied with a trial win so can add to that record. DANCE AFFAIR (3) only missed narrowly from the back row here last time and won his previous two. Draws to be competitive. IN AN IDEAL WORLD (10) draws on the second line but scored back-to-back wins last month, one of them here. First four hope. Something for the Multiples: LUVA SCRAP (11)
