Melton Race 6 - Dynamic Print Group Trot

CHARLIES TACTICS (4) did a great job again at his latest appearance at at this venue, beaten only a nose into second after leading. Has only once missed the placings in eight starts since breaking his maiden so deserves another win. SISTER MOLLY (9) is a three-year-old filly by Father Patrick on debut for the Lee stable. Cops a second line draw but looks to have plenty of talent based on three trial wins so could kick off with a win. ALDEBARAN JAZMINE (5) made an encouraging return when she led and stuck on to finish 3.5 metres away in second at Bendigo last start. Draws wider but can progress. SHINELIKETHESUN (7) has produced three nice performances since a fresh win, the latest a solid third from the back row at Bendigo. Go well again.

Resumes. At the latest first-up run 4th (Fr5) over 2180m after showing early speed at Kilmore beaten 10 m by Tiara Gail (2:51.60) in 3yo MAIDEN on April 24 at $9. This run will do him the world of good.

Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr6) over 1650m at Bendigo beaten 10 m by Woman To Love (2:02.70) in 0-1 WIN on April 1 at $9.50. At the run before 7th (Sr2) over 2190m at Shepparton, beaten 30 m by I Am Harro (2:44.60) in 0-1 WIN on March 17 at $31. Strips fitter and from an inside draw may do better.

Solid run when beaten by 1.4 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Farrokh at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR 50 to 55 on March 18 at $6. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Farrokh at this track over 1720m in a 0W/15 0K stake on March 28 at $6. In fine form. Close to another win.
