Melton Race 8 - Renown Silverware Trotters Free For All
HARRY STAMPER (3) had been about the mark before getting the job done at his latest appearance at this circuit and distance, coming from a wider barrier to score by 3.4 metres. Kept up to the mark with a trial since. Leading hope. IM READY JET (7) returns from a forgettable trip to NZ where she galloped in The Race but she had kicked off her campaign with back-to-back wins here including a G1 for the mares. Draws wide but can win with better manners. ALDEBARAN ZEUS (4) draws better than last start and beat Harry Stamper to win here last month so is on the radar. WATTS UP PARTYTIME (6) placed behind Harry Stamper but the best version of him is capable of beating these.

Didn't do much last time out, 8th (Sr3) over 2240m at this track, beaten 25 m by Harry Stamper (2:45.40) in No NR on April 5 at $11. Before that 5th (Fr7) over 2240m after showing early pace at this track was 2nd-1.09 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Im Ready Jet (2:44.70) in No NR on March 15 at $19. Can do better from this draw.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won a big 3.5 m win as favourite (Fr6) at this track (2:45.40) beating Im Bobby in No NR on April 5 at $2.80 at the bell was leading 3.52. In fine form and looks a serious player again.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following April 5 run. Last start won by 2 m (Sr3) at this track (2:45.00) beating Avant Guard in NR 70 to 85 on April 19 at $3.30. This race will be harder than that win. Respect.

Last start solid effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 2240m at this track was 4th-7.85 at the bell, beaten 5 m by Harry Stamper (2:45.40) in No NR on April 5 at $8. Two runs back won by 1.5 m as favourite (Sr3) at this track (2:05.40) beating Aldebaran Brooke in NR 70 to 85 on March 29 at $1.60 at the bell was leading 0.14. Decent effort last start. Can threaten.

Last start broke and was well beaten into eighth behind Arcee Phoenix at Cambridge Raceway over 2200m on April 4 at $32.60. Performed better the start before where she won by 8 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (3:25.00) beating Aldebaran Acrux in G1 No NR M on March 22 at $1.40 at the bell was leading 5.25. Major player with manners.
