Melton Race 6 - Dynamic Print Group Trot
WHATS THE TEA (7) has worked his way back into winning form, working when racing wide last start but going on to score by 2.7 metres at Maryborough. Has to contend with a very wide draw but could overcome that to deliver again. ATEGO DAWN (5) was a big improver when second up last time out, scoring by 1.6 metres in a far better performance at Bendigo. Has trialled well since so should have come on further and is a two-time winner at this circuit and distance. ALLWATFUNJINGLES (4) led from a similar draw to this when winning well last month at Maryborough and hasn't been too far off the placegetters since. JESSICAS STORY (2) placed from this draw two back and was solid again when fourth at Maryborough last time out. Respect.

Last start from midfield and won by 1.5 m when quickly away, (Fr1) at Bendigo (2:03.50) beating Charlie Walker in NR 37 to 41 on March 4 at $15 at the bell was 3rd-4.54. Strips fitter third-up and can repeat the dose.

Last start just off the speed and boxed on; won by 2.75 m as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at Maryborough (2:48.00) beating Charlie Walker in NR up to 44 on March 16 at $2.30 at the bell was 2nd-2.7. In fine form and looks a serious player again.
