Melton Race 5 - Benstud Standardbreds Trot

KITTY CASH (7) made it back-to-back wins when she scored at Kilmore two runs ago before bombing the start last time. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw but with luck and manners she has the talent to take care of this field. Hard to knock the form of AGAINST THE BRIDLE (1) who made it three wins in a row when he led from wider and went to score by 5.5m at Geelong. Has the speed to take advantage of this draw so could add to the winning streak. TICTOK (5) has been tackling higher-graded races of late, the last two from back row draws. This should suit. JAYS ALL THAT (4) has been solid of late and is worth some thought.

Bombed the start and was well beaten into seventh behind No Money No Honey at Kilmore over 2180m in a 4yo on September 24 at $3.40. Raced better the start before that where she came from midfield and won by 2.25 m when quickly away, (Fr5) at Kilmore (2:05.90) beating Lord Logan in on September 17 at $3 at the bell was leading 2.82. With manners she can bounce back.
