Murwillumbah Race 6 - Bundaberg Rum Super Showcase Mdn Plate
FRENCH MELODY (7) lived up to the three good trials with a tough on-pace third on debut over 1100m at Ipswich. Can come on further now from the good gate over the extra ground. Top three contender. ZOUBUCA SHOTS (9) resumes after making good progress at her second race start when sitting on the speed to finish a close up second over 1200m at the Gold Coast. Has trialled well and the blinkers go on from the low draw. Expected to go close. CAUTIONARY TAIL (1) comes back in grade and trip after going under narrowly over 1350m at Doomben. At his peak now and stays in the mix. FAWUNDERPAR (4) has been thereabouts in the three career starts. Chipped away late when third over 1000m at the Sunshine Coast. Best figures measure up over the extra trip.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 3rd in a small field in a Mdn at Ballina on August 11 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 4.5 len behind Ashkirk carrying 56kg at $6.50. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 in a Super Mdnsw at Port Macquarie on July 31 over 1206m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Canal carrying 59kg at $21. Can run a bold race at the good odds.

First starter. Four-year-old gelding by Odyssey Moon out of Nilreen. At the most recent trial finished fourth at Wagga Riverside over 1000m. Would prefer to see him perform on race day before recommending.

At debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 12 in a Mdn at Ipswich on August 7 over 1100m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind The Grand Duchy with 58kg at $5.50. Better for that outing and looks set to break the Maiden status.

At the latest run 4th of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at Casino on August 8 over 1000m, slow going 6 len behind Flying Vento with 57kg at $4.80. The race before that raced on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Grafton on July 24 over 1125m, 11 len behind I Am Steffi carrying 55kg at $101. Not keen on her chances.
