Melton Race 8 - Vicbred Voucher 3Yo Maiden
CAMERINA (3) looks ready to win having finished runner-up in both starts so far this campaign. Turned in yet another strong performance last start when she came from this barrier and battled on bravely to be beaten less than 2m at Kilmore. Race fit and is likely to get the favours from this draw so could break through. DARLINGTON (5) is stepping out for the first time. By good sire Sweet Lou and hails from the Jess Tubbs stable. Placed in a recent trial at this venue. Should be well educated and could kick off with a win. MAJOR ORION (4) must be considered after placing in both starts so far, last week coming from wider for third at Bendigo. WALKWITHME (8) is a three-year-old filly by Art Major on debut. Looked above average in winning the latest trial and draws for a trail so keep safe.

Three-year-old gelding facing the starter for the second time. At debut broke in score up and was out of position at the start 5th (Fr2) over 1690m at Kilmore, beaten 14 m by Master Louey (2:04.30) in 3yo MAIDEN on April 2 at $16. Gets the inside draw and may improve.

Last start was well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind All Over It at Bendigo over 2150m in a MAIDEN on April 8 at $9.50. Performed better the start before with a good run when 2nd (Fr3) over 1750m after showing early speed at Swan Hill was leading by 0.8 at the bell, beaten a head by Steel Miki (2:12.50) in MAIDEN on March 31 at $6. Has the same draw and is a chance to break through.
