Melton Race 7 - Hertz Melton Trot
MAJESTIC CHARMA (3) made a nice return at her latest appearance five weeks ago, finishing 1.6 metres away in third at Kilmore to continue a string of wins or placings from last campaign. Kept fresh since but has won when second-up before and a nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. FLYIN TIME (2) did a good job to come from a wider barrier and finish just a head away in second when resuming at this venue. Draws better and with added fitness under the belt could go one better. STEADY DREAM (1) didn't do a bad job when fifth from a very wide barrier at this circuit last time out. Won here the last time she started on the pegs so is much better served by this draw. TIPPLE TIME (5) continued some consistent form with her last-start fourth at Kilmore and has been kept up to the mark with a trial win since.

Having her second run back from a spell. Good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr6) over 1720m after racing wide at this track was 6th-9.06 at the bell, beaten a head by Shezalover (2:09.10) on May 29 at $8. Big chance to take this out.

Second-up here following a spell. Good run when 3rd (Fr4) over 2180m at Kilmore beaten 1.5 m by Paris Jamilla (2:46.80) on May 7 at $3.10. Winning claims with added fitness.

Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Fr6) over 1690m at Maryborough, beaten 25 m by With Aplomb (2:05.50) on May 31 at $34. Before that surrendered the lead and finished 7th (Fr2) over 2150m after showing early pace at Bendigo beaten 15 m by Tictok (2:41.00) on May 27 at $23. Unlikely to threaten.
