Melton Race 4 - Apg Trot

MUFASA METRO (8) finished second last time out, beaten 4.5 metres, in a nice return to form at this track over 1720m when second-up from a break. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Has the ability to take this out. KEAYANG STUKA (6) finished fifth last start, beaten 7 metres at this track over 1720m. Expected to run well. IMPERIAL MONARCH (7) is a genuine type who was a solid third most recently at this track. Must be included in what looks a suitable assignment. SEBASTIANS BOY (3) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1720m at this track last time out.

Last start 6th (Sr1) over 2240m at this track, beaten 8 m by Hoppy (2:47.80) in 0W/15 0K stake on August 2 at $4.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr4) over 1720m at this track, beaten 15 m by Maoris Mac (2:04.70) in NR 71 to 87 on August 2 at $21. Showed ability the outing before when he won by a neck (Fr6) at this track (2:44.70) beating Aldebaran Vera in NR 72 to 87 on July 26 at $11 at the bell was 5th-7.07. Among the main chances.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after a quick start, behind Arcee Phoenix at this track over 2240m in a No NR on June 21 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Im Bobby at this track over 1720m in a No NR on July 19 at $3.80. Heading the right way and is a leading player.
