Melton Race 6 - Hertz Melton Free For All

THE ART OF SUCCESS (1) was racing with great purpose before the latest appearance when she got the job done again, scoring by 3.5 metres over 1720m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. HES FROM HEAVEN NZ (7) was successful at this track two runs ago before making up plenty of ground but finding a couple better at his latest appearance over 2240m at this track. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running a big race. SIR JIMMY (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a nose when resuming at this track over 2240m. CALEXICO (4) must be considered after he finished third over 1720m at this track a week ago.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Hes From Heaven at this track over 1720m on June 27 at $8. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Some American at this track over 1720m on July 25 at $14. Heading the right way now.
