Melton Race 10

Hertz Melton 3yo Mdn Trot

Prize Money: $6,000

BIG RAIN (3) has the hoof on the till. Made it three placings in a row when she led and stuck on for second last week at Bendigo. Likely to push forward again from another good draw. Big chance to break through. WAR DAN PHOENIX (1) gets the ace draw and is heading the right way, improving last time out to come from a wider barrier and miss narrowly when second at Cranbourne. MAJESTIC YANKEE (5) has not raced since her debut five-and-a-half months ago but looks forward enough for the return after three trials, placing in her latest. Look for a good return. MYRNIONG SKYE (4) is a three-year-old colt on debut for the David Murphy yard. Placed in two trials so keep safe.

Improved last start with a game effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr6) over 2080m at Cranbourne, beaten a nose by Cloudy Canyon (2:43.30) on July 5 at $9. Draws the pegs and is a chance to go one better.

Comments

Good performance when beaten by 4 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Nedza Thriller at Ballarat over 2200m on June 25 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Life On The Hill at Bendigo over 1650m in a 3yo on July 1 at $5.50. Bursting to win and from the low draw gets her chance.
