Melton Race 10 - Happy Birthday Barb Trot

MAGIC LAW (5) looks close to a win after placing in his last two outings at this circuit and distance. Draws a couple of spots wider than in the last-start second but has easily won a trial since. Gets his chance to break through. CHARLIE WALKER (8) started favourite last start but a poor start proved costly. Shouldn't spend a penny from this better draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Player with manners. MAORI FRANKLIN (7) broke when resuming. Draws wide but will strip fitter second-up and enjoys a class drop. TINEY (3) is in the mix with the aid of a low draw.

Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Frankythefrenchman at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 45 on July 11 at $7. Ready to win.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Backing up quickly after broke in score up and was out of position at the start 6th (Fr7) over 2150m at Bendigo, beaten 17 m by Zesta La Go Go (2:45.60) in NR up to 42 on July 30 at $14. The run before 6th (Fr6) over 2200m at Ballarat, beaten 25 m by Azalea Mae (2:50.50) in NR up to 39 on July 24 at $3.40. Certainly up to this with his best.
