Melton Race 9 - Logical Staffing Solutions Trot

RUBYS DREAM (5) was too good at her most recent outing, leading from wider before saluting by 5.5 metres. That took her strike rate at this circuit and distance to 50 per cent. Big chance again from a lower draw. FREIGHT SHAKER (2) did a good job to win from wider last time out, working to the front before scoring by 3.2 metres at this circuit and distance. Up in grade but should get a soft run from this nice draw. IJUSTCALLEDTOSAY (6) draws better than when midfield from the back row last time and had been racing well prior including a placing in a Vicbred final here two back. KEAYANG KURKI (7) has been solid from the second line of late including a placing in a Vicbred final two back. Respect.
