Melton Race 5 - Apg 4Yo & 5Yo Trot

SHES RUBY ROO (7) is a smart mare who should be peaking fourth up and looks ready to win following back-to-back seconds here, one of them from this same barrier. Has a decent record at this longer distance so goes on top. PERFIDIOUS SUE (5) is racing in good form and made it back-to-back wins when leading from a similar draw to this and scoring by close to 9m at this venue and distance a fortnight ago. Big chance to land the hat trick. PRINCE OF ROCK (4) had been let down by manners a couple of times before he came from the back row for fourth here last start. Draws better and has winning claims if he gets it right. HEPHAESTUS PHOENIX (6) broke last time but had put together a series of top-three finishes before that including a Geelong win so can do much better. SUGA DADDY (1) is honest and could play a role again from this draw.

Good performance when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Aldebaran Vera at this track over 1720m in a No NR M on November 23 at $10. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Lovemeto at this track over 1720m in a No NR on November 30 at $4.40. Ready to peak and win.
