Melton Race 5 - Vicbred Voucher Trot
I CHOOSE YOU (2) drops in grade off the Vicbred 3CG Super Series where he was runner-up in the heats before finishing down the track in the final. Had gone into that off a fresh win at Ballarat where he led from wider than this so can take advantage of the good draw. LITTLE MISS MORGAN (8) led and kept going when successful last week at Kilmore, getting home by 4.4 metres. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Major player. TRUSCOTTS ELEGANCE (1) continued her good form when runner-up from much wider last week at Ballarat. Draws to enjoy the favours. AGAINST THE BRIDLE (4) put three wins together before placing here last week. Include.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Queen Of Sees at this track over 2240m in a 3yo G1 on September 12 at $61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Jilliby Radiance at Ballarat over 1710m on October 1 at $3.40. Gets the ace draw so can be in the finish again.

Last start was well beaten into tenth behind Howdy Mate at this track over 2240m in a 3yo G1 on September 12 at $151. Raced better the start before that with a good run when 2nd (Fr5) over 2240m after showing early pace at this track was 3rd-5.27 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Munny The Munster (2:49.90) in 3yo on September 4 at $19. Enjoys a class drop and draws well.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 3rd (Fr7) over 2180m at Kilmore, at the bell was 6th-8.44 beaten 8 m by Little Miss Morgan (2:48.00) on September 30 at $13. Two runs back 6th (Fr5) over 2190m after being wide early at Shepparton, beaten 30 m by Centurion Dream (2:42.80) on September 15 at $81. This appears a bit rich.

Good run when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Kitty Cash at Cranbourne over 1609m on September 6 at $10. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Kitty Cash at Kilmore over 1690m on September 17 at $5.50. The good recent form deserves respect.

Hard to fault of late. Last start raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 7 m (Sr1) at Cranbourne (1:58.30) beating Joe Lou in on September 13 at $4.20 at the bell was 3rd-4.4. Back in winning form and may measure up again.
