Melton Race 3

2construct Winter Series Nmw Trot (3rd Heat)

Prize Money: $7,000

COLTRANE (6) kept his manners in check and was too strong despite working for a win by 9m at this circuit and distance last time out. That was his second success from his last three outings, both from back row draws. Not the most reliable of trotters but has the talent if he gets it right again. QUEEN KIZEN NZ (3) looks close to a win following back-to-back placings. Backs up after she came from a 30m handicap for second in the Warragul Cup on Monday. Likely to get the favours from this nice draw so could break through. NAKEDTRUTH (4) is another with the hoof on the till after placing in his last two appearances at this venue, the latest a 2.8m third from the back row. PARIS JAMILLA (5) scored back-to-back wins last month and looks close to another success after working from a back row draw but fighting on to place at Bendigo last time out.
