Melton Race 6

Hertz Melton Trot

Stake: $10,800

RAPID RETURN (11) was racing against stronger opposition last time in, last seen when tackling a G3 here in February. Has won fresh before so with luck from the back row could make a winning return. LADY IN THE SKY (9) is hard to knock with three wins and a placing from her last four starts. Draws on the back row but has put together a decent record at this venue and distance. MITCHELL WRAP (10) has been solid of late including a placing last time out at Geelong. Go well. MAORIS MAC (12) draws wide on the back row but enjoys a class drop and will be fitter for recent racing. CALL ME JACK (1) looks close to a win after a trio of placings and draws to advantage.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Susan Is Her Name at this track over 2240m in a NR 60 to 69 on April 12 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Keayang Lavita at this track over 1720m in a NR 60 to 69 on April 19 at $4. Another strong performance expected.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 8th (Fr4) over 1720m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 25 m by Keayang Lavita (2:05.50) in NR 60 to 69 on April 19 at $23. Two runs back came from midfield and won by a nose (10m Fr1) at Shepparton (2:49.80) beating Aldebaran Demi in No NR on April 15 at $10 at the bell was 3rd-4. Hard to enthuse.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Keayang Lavita at this track over 1720m in a NR 60 to 69 on April 19 at $14. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Jilliby Ballerini at Geelong over 1609m in a NR 60 to 69 on May 2 at $8. Major player.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start broke in score up and was out of position at the start 9th (Fr1) over 2240m at this track well beaten by Pinnie (2:45.30) in NR 70 to 85 on May 3 at $7. The run before 9th (Fr2) over 2240m after racing wide at this track was 7th-12.9 at the bell, beaten 15 m by Aldebaran Acrux (2:45.00) in NR 70 to 85 on April 19 at $2.60. Worth another chance. Fitter and down in grade could show more.
