Melton Race 7 - Bob Conroy 2yo Trotters Classic

VERBICI (6) was an impressive winner last start at Group Two level over 1609m at Menangle, getting home by 3 metres. Sure to prove hard to beat. REGAL GALA (5) gave his opponents no chance last start when he cruised to a 15 metres victory over 1720m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but he is capable of saluting again. KYVALLEY DIABLO (4) finished sixth last start at Group Two level in a race won by VERBICI over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 100 metres. Ideally drawn and can play a big role. ORLANDO VEYRON (3) did a good job to finish 17 metres from the winner in third first-up last start after breaking in the run over 1720m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Facing a tougher assignment but another big run is likely.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at Menangle, well beaten by Verbici (1:59.60) in G2 on July 4 at $5. Showed ability the run before when he won by 9 m broke at Bendigo on June 10 (Fr3) at Bendigo (2:42.80) beating The Wool Broker in 2yo on June 10 at $4.20. Well-placed and should improve sharply.

Comes here in the right form. Won by 3 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr7) at Menangle (1:59.60) beating Chief Kenny in G2 on July 4 at $1.25 at the bell was leading 4.03. Two runs back ran on from midfield and won by 14 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at Riverina Paceway (2:07.30) beating Regal Gala in 2yo LR CG on May 30 at $1.25. Hard to knock recent form and should be in the finish again.

Hard to enthuse.
