Melton Race 4 - Garrards Horse & Hound Pace
FORESIGHT (8) maintained the recent momentum last start when she scored by 2.5 metres over 1609m at Cranbourne. Can settle just behind them and wait on the sprint lane. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat once more. MY ULTIMATE SASSY (9) registered a strong performance last time when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at Geelong. This is a nice drop in grade, so she is in the right race to find the winners' list. OUR TRUE COLOURS (4) is on the radar after her last-start sixth over 1690m at Kilmore eight days ago. Each way value. ELATED (3) was safely held last time out at the second run back from a spell. Open to plenty of improvement with a good draw assisting his chances.

Failed to impress last start; 12th (Sr3) over 1690m after being wide early at Shepparton, at the bell was 3rd-5.11 beaten 17 m by Line Dance (2:02.40) in NR 52 to 59 on May 20 at $10. Showed ability the race before when he tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; posted a big 3.5 m win (Sr1) at Port Pirie (2:33.60) beating Teddy Sandel in NR 41 to 46 on May 6 at $5 at the bell was 2nd-5. In the mix if on-song.
