Melton Race 9

Mimosa Homes Pace

Prize Money: $10,000

FIRE MARSHALL (2) has been down the track at his last couple of outings but he chased some smart rivals in those races. Scored back-to-back wins prior, one of them at this venue. A good draw could see him back in the winners' list. HOORAH PHILTRA (4) has had eight weeks off but goes well when on the fresh side and came from a similar barrier for second here three back so can measure up. MAAS BETTING AGAIN (3) came from the back row when fourth here last week and put together a couple of wins earlier in the preparation. Draws for a good showing as does TRIPLE ROCK SAINT NZ (1) who gets the inside barrier.
