Melton Race 3 - Vale Mick Clover Mdn Pace
COLOMBIAN PRINCESS (6) is a four-year-old mare by champion sire Bettors Delight on debut for premier trainer Emma Stewart. It's taken her a while to get to the races but the stable has a terrific strike rate with first starters. She could add to it. PET WOLF (4) resumes from a spell of six-and-a-half months after placing in his three starts of the maiden campaign, all of them at this venue. Could make a winning return. ARZALI SHACARRI (9) is heading the right way, improving at start number two to finish third at Charlton despite being held up for a run. Draws on the back line again but could progress further. SONOFPLATINUM (1) is a two-year-old gelding on debut for Shannon Debnam. Readied with a trial win and is likely to get the favours from this draw.
