Melton Race 1 - Garrards Horse And Hound Pace
LENARD ESS (9) was struggling to make his mark before the latest appearance when he scored by 8 metres over 2240m at this track. Meets a similar line up so he can keep the ball rolling. FREAK OUT (7) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4.5 metres from the winner in third over 2240m at this track. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. ALLHEARTNOHEIGHT (3) gets every chance from a favourable draw. WOODLEA DIEGO NZ (4) has raced twice since resuming and failed to threaten on either occasion, the latest when seventh over 2240m at this track a week ago. Fitter and in the mix.
