Melton Race 6 - Irt Trot
GOTFEELINGSYOUKNOW (4) did a great job in leading for a 6m win when resuming off a lengthy spell then performed well behind an in-form rival last week, beaten 3.6m into second. Draws closer to the pegs and is suited back to a distance where he is two from two. REMUS PHOENIX (5) has come from wider barriers than this to place in both starts since recording a win at this circuit. Expect him to make an impact again. OUR MARVELLA (3) could be close to a win after back-to-back placings. Owns a handy record at this circuit and distance and draws well. SEBASTIANS BOY (9) came from this row to find winning form here last week. Could go on with it. JAZSPUR (8) was beaten less than 4m from a wider barrier on this line last start. Draws for a nice trail tonight.

Last start good run when 2nd (Fr6) over 2240m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track beaten 3.5 m by Jilliby Ballerini (2:44.90) in NR 72 to 87 on July 5 at $2.70. Two runs back posted a big 6 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at this track (2:05.00) beating Remus Phoenix in NR 72 to 87 on June 28 at $2.90 at the bell was leading 2.62. Building in fitness and has strong claims.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Gotfeelingsyouknow at this track over 1720m in a NR 72 to 87 on June 28 at $3.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Jilliby Ballerini at this track over 2240m in a NR 72 to 87 on July 5 at $10. Can maintain the good form.
