Melton Race 7 - Lionheart Security Trot
IMPERIAL COMMAND (1) is a newcomer to the Gath yard from New Zealand. Hasn't raced since September but showed some decent form last campaign including a placing three back at Ashburton. The inside draw could see him make an immediate impact. MISS FRANCENE (8) had been racing consistently with a string of placings before a well-deserved win last time out. Came from a few spots wider to score by 3.3m there so could take advantage of the inside draw. HIGHPOINT (5) chased well for fourth in a higher-graded race last time to follow a second in this class here two back. Contender. IMPERIAL WHIZ (7) comes off a last-start placing at Cranbourne and could be close to peak fitness third-up. SERTORIUS (3) deserves respect after coming from a wider barrier and digging deep to score narrowly at Bendigo last time out.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after a quick start, behind Paris Kay at Cranbourne over 2080m in a NR up to 59 on November 10 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Suga Daddy at Cranbourne over 2080m in a NR 50 to 59 on November 17 at $7. Encouraging effort last time and can improve further.
