Melton Race 3 - Hertz Melton Mdn Pace

BAD GRANDMA (8) is a three-year-old filly by Captain Crunch on debut for the Andy Gath yard. Looks to have some talent based on a recent trial win here and is drawn to enjoy an economical run with the sprint lane in play. Has the right credentials to play a major role. MILEY KAY (2) led from this barrier and kept finding only to finish a very close second last start at Swan Hill. That was her second placing from just three starts so her hoof is on the till. Should push forward again and is a winning hope. BANIA (11) started a hot favourite on debut but she didn't get it right. Tricky draw but should be better for the experience and looks to have ability. SEW HOPEFULL (3) has placed in two of the last three starts and draws to be competitive again.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after a quick start, behind Ashante Warrior at Kilmore over 1690m on October 8 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Keayang Maricruz at Kilmore over 1690m in a 3yo on October 14 at $23. Draws well and can be there at the business end.
