Melton Race 8 - Garrards Horse & Hound Pace
HAND WRITER (3) led from this same draw at her latest appearance and kept going to score at Gunbower, getting home by close to 10 metres. That gave her two wins and two placings from her last five outings and she goes well here with a win and a placing from two attempts. IMA CHARMA (5) scored back-to-back wins earlier in the campaign and looks close to another success having finished third last start, beaten 2 metres at this venue. Proven over this longer distance here. Contender. SHADY DANCER (7) is in the mix following a brave fifth at her most recent appearance at Geelong when she raced up to four wide. OLIVIA ROSE (11) draws on the back row but came from a similar barrier when she won three back at Geelong.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Ace Duigan at Maryborough over 1690m in a NR up to 39 on November 27 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Auckland Red at Geelong over 1609m in a NR up to 49 on December 6 at $41. Has claims from this draw.

The run before 8th (Fr2) over 1720m at this track beaten 35 m by Popcornfriday (2:03.30) in 0W/15 0K stake on November 29 at $101. Can do a lot better in this suitable contest.
