Melton Race 10

The Big Screen Company Trot

Prize Money: $4,500

AGAINST THE BRIDLE (2) worked to find the lead and kept kicking only to find one better last start over 1690m at Maryborough, making it two minor placings in succession. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw and he is good enough to win a race of this calibre. CHRISTMAS BABE NZ (3) worked to find the lead and kept kicking only to be edged out last time over 1650m at Bendigo. Has the benefit of a good draw. Primary contender based on that recent effort. SCAR (7) comes right into contention after scoring last start by a head at Cranbourne over 1609m. FLOATING MOUNTAIN (5) is worth some thought based on his second over 2200m at Ballarat two runs ago.

Fair performance when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Frosty Girl at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR up to 49 on November 27 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Col Du Granon at Maryborough over 1690m in a NR 40 to 49 on December 4 at $3.10. Drawn to advantage and expected to go well again.

Last start was well beaten into seventh after a quick start, behind The Sky Is The Limit at this track over 2240m in a 4yo+ NR up to 55 on November 29 at $26. Performed better the start before with a good run when 2nd (Fr1) over 2200m at Ballarat was 3rd-7.15 at the bell, beaten 1.75 m by Noble Count (2:46.20) in 4yo+ NR up to 55 on November 21 at $19. Best form should see him feature in the finish.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Velvetnlace at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR up to 49 M on December 4 at $3.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Scar at Cranbourne over 1609m in a NR up to 49 on December 22 at $7. Overdue and expected to be prominent.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing fifth behind Lindy Grace at Gunbower over 2030m in a NR 50 to 55 on December 8 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Van Doren at Charlton over 2100m in a No NR on 1December 8 at $4.40. Solid top-three prospects.
