Melton Race 7 - Hyland Harness Colours Pace
APOLLOSTORM (5) has had let-up since his resuming placing where he started a hot favourite but broke. Still learning but has shown ability and hails from a leading yard. Can break through with manners. NINEDOLLA TOASTIE (2) drew on the back row and raced three wide without cover so was far from disgraced when midfield here last time. Had been racing consistently with a string of placings prior. Going well enough to play a major role. CAN BE A RUEBE (8) is a progressive mare who has won her last two outings, leading to score easily in her last outing at Cranbourne four months ago. Draws for a trail and must be kept safe. SKYFALL BENCHMARK (11) was midfield last time but had recorded series of wins and placings prior. Draws wide on the back row but won his lone attempt at this circuit and distance.

Was checked and broke last start when 11th (Fr7) over 1609m at Geelong, beaten 50 m by My Ultimate Sassy (1:57.60) in NR 50 to 54 on March 21 at $21. Showed ability the race before when she won by 1.4 m (Sr2) at Maryborough (2:01.10) beating Wingate Guy in NR 45 to 50 on March 12 at $3.30. Deserves another chance on the win two back.
