Melton Race 7

Dynamic Print Group Pace

Prize Money: $10,000

MY LITTLE BO (3) has been racing well in stronger races here of late. Finished fourth from a wider barrier at her latest appearance to follow a 1.6m second. Should enjoy an economical run from this draw. This looks winnable. YAPPER (8) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when he came from this barrier and finished less than 2 metres from the winner in fourth at this venue. Contender. STEEL RULER (6) progressed off a fresh placing to win here last time out. Draws wider but could go on with it. TRIPLE ROCK SAINT (1) has been coming from wider barriers of late so could be a big improver from the ace draw.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2 m fourth behind Steel Ruler at this track over 1720m NR 60 to 69 last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres fifth at Shepparton over 2190m in NR 60 to 74 on August 26. Genuine contender.
