Melton Race 7 - Hertz Melton Trot

CRUSHER CLYDE NZ (7) was good in a higher-graded race here last week, coming from the back row for a 2.5m third. Had won four of his previous five starts including his lone attempt at this circuit and distance. Draws wide but has more upside than these. KEAYANG GYPSY (6) was solid when fourth at Listed level last time and was a Bendigo winner prior. Has decent statistics both here and at the distance. Contender. AVANT GUARD (4) could be close to a win having been edged out only narrowly in the Ararat Cup last start. TICTOK (3) came from a wider barrier when runner-up last week. Draws to be competitive.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Remus Phoenix at this track over 2240m in a NR up to 90 on February 21 at $9. Then a handy effort when a close second behind More Wanted at Ararat over 2570m in a No NR on February 27 at $5.50. Another bold showing expected.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after a quick start, behind Jilliby Ballerini at Ballarat over 2200m in a 4-5yo LR No NR on January 24 at $61. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Kyvalley Maven at this track over 1720m in a NR 65 to 75 on February 21 at $41. Consider.
