Melton Race 4

Waste Sense 3Yo Trot

Prize Money: $15,000

GATESYS GEM (1) was one of the leading fillies of last season, winning six of nine starts. Scored at Bendigo when last seen in November to follow her second in the Breeders Crown Final here. Two from two when fresh and has been readied with three nice trials. The ace draw gives her every chance to make a winning return. Last season's Vicbred Super Series winner COMMODUS (8) started a hot favourite when resuming at Cranbourne but broke and finished fourth. Draws for a trail and won his lone second-up attempt so can improve plenty. SASSY GALLEON (11) could be an improver second-up while last-start maiden winner HODY MOKE (2) has been kept up to the mark with a trial win and draws well so include.

Three-year-old gelding facing the starter for the second time. Won at debut when just off the speed and boxed on; posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at Stawell (2:48.90) beating Aldebaran Buddy in MAIDEN on April 18 at $3.70 at the bell was 3rd-10.5m 2WNC. This looks a far sterner task but has some upside.

Resumed and broke when beaten 12 m fourth after showing early speed, behind Promise Dream at Cranbourne over 1609m in a NR 54 to 60 on April 18. Got it wrong fresh but strips fitter and is a winning chance.

Two runs back 9th (Sr1) over 2240m at this track beaten 75 m by Commodus (2:46.30) in 2yo G1 No NR CG on September 14 at $26. May find this tough.
