Melton Race 9 - Hygain Edge Trot

STEADY DREAM (3) was disappointing as favourite last start but had looked close to a win when runner-up in her previous two outings at this circuit and distance. Those were both in higher-graded races than this and she draws well so is worth another chance. SHEZALOVER (6) has been solid in two outings since kicking off this campaign with back-to-back wins, coming from one spot wider for third at Maryborough last time. Contender. THE FASHIONISTA (8) put the writing on the wall with an improved showing for second at Geelong last week and draw for a nice trail. BAARLINEE (5) locked wheels when fourth from this barrier last week at Geelong. Could go well again.
