Melton Race 1 - Mimosa Homes Trot
AT THE DISTANCE (8) started favourite at Cranbourne last start and did well to go under by just a nose as runner-up after he broke and raced parked. Draws for a trail and is proven at this circuit and distance. With manners he could go one better. RYMES (12) is working towards a win, copping a check and breaking but recovering to finish 4.4m away in this grade two back then placing from this row at Kilmore last week. With even luck he could find his way back into the winners' list. ALLWATFUNJINGLES (2) was brave in winning at Bendigo last week, working but digging deep to get home by a head. Up in grade but draws for a better run. MASSIF CENTRAL (3) led and faded last start but won two of the previous three outings and has the speed to be prominent from a low draw.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr4) over 2180m after showing early pace at Kilmore beaten 13 m by Whats The Tea (2:52.80) on May 21 at $17. Showed ability the race before when he won by 1.4 m after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Kilmore (2:09.20) beating Playa Del Carmen in on May 7 at $8.50. Draws well so is among the chances.

Failed to impress last start; broke in score up and was out of position at the start then settled down to finish fifth over 2180m at Kilmore last start. Showed ability the outing before when he posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Bendigo (2:46.60) beating Miss Avenger in on May 20 at $1.45. First four hope.
