Melton Race 4 - Renown Silverware Trot

MISS MUSCLE (5) won at this track two runs ago then backed it up with another good run at her latest appearance over 1720m at this track, beaten 3.5 metres. This looks a logical next step and a lovely spot for her to run well again. THE CHOOK (1) did well to finish second two starts ago at Bendigo but came back to earth at her latest appearance over 2190m at Shepparton, beaten 16 metres into seventh after being handy in the run. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is good enough. MAJARO GIRL (3) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1720m at this track last time out and VOLSTEADSDELIGHT (6) is worth some thought despite her last-start seventh over 1690m at Kilmore on July 16.

Didn't do much last time out, 10th (Fr2) over 1690m at Kilmore, beaten 35 m by Champagnes (2:06.00) on August 13 at $9. Before that 4th (Fr3) over 2190m at Maryborough beaten 25 m by Rastamon (2:45.70) on August 3 at $3.30. Others make more appeal.
