Melton Race 9 - Logical Staffing Solutions Vicbred Voucher 2yo Mdn Pace
DIAMOND AURORA (5) faces the starter for the first time. By champion sire Bettors Delight and hails from the Jodi Quinlan stable. Has strong trial form coming into this, winning his last two hitouts. Well placed to kick off with a win. GATSBY (2) came from a couple of spots wider when fifth last start at Kilmore. Capable of playing a major role aided by the low draw. SIR KITT (6) is looming as a threat after a better effort in his second outing last start, finishing second from a similar barrier at Ballarat. MY ROCKING HORSE (3) disappointed last time but was third at Shepparton two runs back so may do better.
