Melton Race 1 - Hygain Free For All

ROCKNROLL HAMMER (7) continues to race well having finished runner-up in all three starts since a win from the back row at this circuit and distance. Draws wide but got within a neck of multiple G1 winner Catch A Wave last start and steps up to a distance where he strikes at 50 per cent. TANGO TARA (10) is close to a win having placed in three of his last four starts, last week coming from this row and racing wide in the latter stages for a 2.7m second. Contender. TRIPLE EIGHT (11) may need a touch of luck from this barrier but he is suited up to a distance where he owns a strong record. CATALPA RESCUE (6) is a two-time winner here and deserves respect after coming from the back for second in the Mildura Cup last start. BETTOR ISOLATE (3) draws well and could progress off an encouraging fresh effort.

Backs up three days after he failed to impress was well back in the run when 5th (Fr7) over 1650m at Bendigo was 7th-7.69 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Harryhoo (1:55.90) in NR 65 or better on April 16 at $81. Before that 7th (Fr2) over 1720m at this track beaten 20 m by Rakero Slammer (2:01.50) in NR 80 to 89 on April 5 at $101. Impossible to entertain.

Will need plenty of improvement to feature.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fifth behind Joe Got Rolled at Mildura over 2190m in a No NR on April 1 at $1.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind Young Bluey at Mildura over 2600m in a LR No NR on April 4 at $4.60. Looks ready to win again.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr7) over 1609m at Geelong was 7th-13.66 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Catch A Wave (1:51.90) in No NR on March 28 at $10. The run before 5th (Sr3) over 2240m at this track was 7th-11.3m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 6 m by Rakero Rebel (2:39.50) in No NR on March 1 at $10. Happy to give him another try in this suitable contest.
