Melton Race 2 - The Vhrc Holmfield 3yo Trot (Group 3)

MUNNY THE MUNSTER (7) lines up for the first time since scoring by 19 metres at Listed level over 2270m at Riverina Paceway on May 30. Proven performer against good opposition; can return a winner. THE PREACHER (10) was an impressive winner last start over 2240m at this track, getting home by 11 metres. Top-shelf performer who is a genuine danger. HOWDY MATE (12) is looking for black-type success after suffering a defeat last time out a much weaker race over 2240m at this track, arriving 3.5 metres behind the winner. Top-shelf performer who is a genuine danger. BROTHER MOUNTAIN (4) was an impressive winner last start over 2230m at Globe Derby Park, getting home by 8 metres. Ideally drawn and can play a big role.

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up ran on strong from last on the turn and posted a big 3.5 m win when driven back in the field, (Fr7) held up early, at Bendigo (2:01.70) beating Aldebaran Jazmine in on April 1 at $2.90. Well-placed and should be in the finish.

Continued his steady form from last campaign first-up. Returned to racing with a posted a big 11 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at this track (2:48.30) beating Met With A Shrug in on August 12 at $1.60 Before going for a spell win at Warragul over 2627m. Will be better for that run and is a top winning chance again.
