Melton Race 2 - Vicbred Voucher Pace

INSIDER TRADING (2) is racing well with four top-three finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at Bendigo. Scored from a wider barrier three back and should have no excuses from this advantageous draw. The race has been weakened by scratchings which brings ALWAYS A SHOWGIRL (9) into contention after coming from this row and missing narrowly at this circuit and distance last week. HURRIKANE DUSTY (4) will be fitter for the resuming second from this barrier. Strikes at 50 per cent when second up so can progress. LIBERTY STAR DUST (5) draws lower than last start and has claims off a Cranbourne win prior.

Good performance when beaten by 5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Sanchez at Ballarat over 1710m in a 0W/15 0K stake on April 9 at $9. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Keayang Renegade at Bendigo over 1650m in a 0W/15 0K stake on April 18 at $51. Drawn to advantage and has winning claims.
