Melton Race 10 - Dynamic Print Group Free For All
YAMBUKIAN (1) is racing well having added to a string of wins and placings by coming from a back row draw and racing parked before sticking on for a 1.3 third last start. The ace draw gives him every chance to return to the winners' list. BETTER ECLIPSE (4) has been out of the placings in both starts since a spell but has come from the back row each time. His fitness is building so expect a better showing from this barrier. CATALPA RESCUE (5) hasn't been far away in any of his outings since winning the Charlton Cup earlier in the campaign and he is a two-time winner here. BETTOR ISOLATE (2) draws well and could be ready to peak fourth up after finishing only 3.7m away last start. JILLIBY NITRO (7) draws wide but has claims off a second here two back.

Solid run when a close second after showing early speed, behind Rakero Rebel at this track over 2240m in a No NR on April 12 at $4. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.2 m finishing third behind Odin at Terang over 1680m in a NR 65 or better on April 28 at $2. In form and the inside draw should see him hard to stop

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 6th (Sr2) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 2nd-1.58 beaten 12 m by Tango Tara (1:59.80) in No NR on May 3 at $8.50. The start before 7th (Sr1) over 2240m at this track, beaten 17 m by Rakero Rebel (2:36.50) in No NR on April 12 at $4.60. Building in fitness and draws better so is a winning chance.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Sahara Breeze at this track over 2240m in a No NR on April 19 at $13. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Tiger Band Wagon at Swan Hill over 1750m in a NR 65 or better on April 27 at $2.30. Contender.
