Melton Race 7 - Apg Trot

ROYAL CHARLOTTE (4) found winning form at the latest appearance when she led from this same barrier and scored by 2.4 metres at Shepparton. Meets a similar line up so she could make it two on the bounce. USED TO BE A MAID (5) was first up for four-and-a-half-months when she came from the back row and chased ROYAL CHARLOTTE for second at Shepparton. Returns to the front line so with improvement likely could turn the tables. MOJITO MADNESS (6) recorded a string of top-two finishes before the last attempt so is worth another chance. AUSSIE MUSCLE (2) has sound form and must be considered from a good draw.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after showing early speed, behind Claudy An Gus at this track over 1720m in a NR 54 to 60 on December 13 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Fremarkstilly at this track over 1720m in a NR 50 to 59 on December 27 at $23. Nicely drawn and expected to run a bold race again.

Promising type show didn't do much at the end of her last preparation. Fair return to racing first up game effort when 2nd (Sr2) over 2190m at Shepparton beaten 2.5 m by Royal Charlotte (2:43.00) in NR 50 to 59 on December 24 at $7. Could be hard to beat with that run under her belt.
