Melton Race 5 - Vhrc Caduceus 3Yo Classic (Listed Classic)

FUGITIVE NZ (5) is a former Group 1-winning NZ juvenile who made a winning start in Australia for Luke McCarthy, digging deep to narrowly beat older rivals at Menangle last week. Better for that and is suited against his own age group and dropping in trip having recorded three wins and three placings from seven tries at this distance. QUATRO MOTH (3) stretched her unbeaten run to three when resuming with a 4m win from a wider barrier. Tackles the boys but should be fitter and has the speed to be prominent from the good draw. CO CAPTAIN (8) claimed a few nice scalps at Kilmore last week, making it back-to-back wins. Draws on the back line but came from there when scoring at this circuit and distance two back. Yet to miss the top two so is hard to knock. KNIGHT FURY DAN (6) draws wider but should be close to his peak after seconds in both starts since a spell. BROOKLYN DAN (9) hasn't raced since a win at this circuit and distance in June but was readied with a trial win. Keep safe.

Last start was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr3) over 1690m at Kilmore was 5th-10 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Co Captain (2:01.90) in 3yo No NR on February 7 at $10. Two runs back 5th (Fr2) over 2240m at this track, beaten 40 m by Loucasso (2:36.10) in 2yo G2 No NR CG on December 13 at $41. Will find this tough.

Last preparation only had 2 starts before going for a break. Returned to racing with a handy win by 4 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at Shepparton (2:41.90) beating Rocky Rocks in 3yo No NR on January 17 at $1.28. Fitter and a good draw could see her maintain the unbeaten record.

Three-year-old gelding who is racing well. Solid first up, won by a nose as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Menangle (2:45.30) beating Gipsy Princess in NR up to 80 on February 7 at $1.45 at the bell was 3rd-3.76. Too good in his Australian debut and should progress off that.

Three-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Kilmore and this track. Last start ran on from midfield and won by 1.75 m when quickly away, (Fr1) at Kilmore (2:01.90) beating Knight Fury Dan in 3yo No NR on February 7 at $7 at the bell was leading 0.1. Back row draw but winning form is hard to knock.
