Melton Race 7 - Prydes Easifeed Trot
DICHOTOMY (1) was let down by her manners during a recent Sydney raid but her prior Victorian form was strong, finishing second from the back row the last time she raced here. Well placed and is aided by the ace draw. TICTOK (10) continues a run of second row draws and while she can be a bit hot and cold she scored back-to-back Bendigo wins last month so is a player with her A-game. LINK IN BIO (2) could be close to a win after placing in two of three starts this time in. Draws well and should be hitting her peak. MEGA SPUR (6) draws wider than when placed last week but is building in fitness.

Last start broke 9th (Fr6) over 1609m at Menangle, well beaten by Susan Is Her Name (1:51.70) in G1 No NR M on May 10 at $126. The run prior galloped out when 8th (FT Fr3) over 2300m at Menangle was 9th-16.43 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Hanover Da Moon (2:52.20) in No NR on April 26 at $4.20. Well drawn and is much better placed so has strong claims with manners.

Returns from the paddock. His previous first-up run was successful when he posted a big 6 m win when quickly away, (Fr2) at Cranbourne (2:39.40) beating Imperial Whiz in NR up to 65 on May 19 2024 at $7. This run will do him the world of good.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after showing early speed, behind Susan Is Her Name at this track over 2240m in a NR 60 to 69 on March 29 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Jilliby Ballerini at this track over 2240m in a NR 63 to 79 on May 17 at $11. Nice effort last time. Can play a role in the finish again.

Resumes. At the latest first-up run surrendered the lead and finished 2nd (Fr5) over 2200m after showing early pace at Ballarat beaten 3.5 m by Aldebaran Acrux (2:45.30) in NR 50 to 69 on July 11 at $11. Recent trials will help bring him on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.
