Melton Race 5 - Lyn Mcpherson Breed For Speed Silver Trot Final (Listed Classic)
KEAYANG GYPSY (5) was too good in a heat of this series last time out, leading from a similar draw to score by 6.6m at Bendigo. Overcame a back row draw to score the last time she raced here last month, taking her record at this circuit and distance to two from three. She looks tough to stop again. RUBYS DREAM (8) drew wide and was out of position at the start when runner-up to KEAYANG GYPSY last start. Had come from 20m handicaps for a win and a close second in her previous two outings. Has won two of three tries at this distance and draws for a trail so could be dangerous. ALDEBARAN SUSANNE (2) came from the back row when fourth to KEAYANG GYPSY in the heat so is better served by this barrier. MAC FLICK (7) had to work hard last start. Draws wide again but had won two of her previous three starts and her record at this distance stands at three from five.

Last start won a big 6 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Bendigo (1:58.30) beating Rubys Dream in NR 56 to 75 M on February 20 at $2.15 at the bell was leading 4.6. Too good last start and looks tough to stop again.

Looks well placed in this tougher race, but she was impressive winning two starts back [-+] ran on from midfield and won by 3 m (Fr6) at Bendigo (1:59.00) beating Abbie in NR 56 to 64 on February 6 at $4.20 at the bell was 4th-9.57. Among the chances.

Last start good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr7) over 1650m at Bendigo was 2nd-4.6 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Keayang Gypsy (1:58.30) in NR 56 to 75 M on February 20 at $6.50. Two runs back won by a nose (20m Fr2) at Maryborough (2:47.70) beating Maestro in NR 55 or better on February 4 at $3.80 at the bell was leading 1.4. Bright prospects again.
