Melton Race 6 - Hertz Melton Pace

BETTOR BEACH (5) is an exciting filly who beat Group 1 winner Arrythmia for a debut win in a Breeders Crown heat here in December before finishing fourth to that rival in the final in her only other appearance. Likely to have developed further with maturity and was readied with a trial win. She is well placed for a winning return. FICTION FILE (3) enjoyed the class drop from the Nutrien series when she came from the back row for a 3m third at Geelong last week. Beaten just a head the last time she raced here and she draws well. THEMIDNIGHTEXPRESS (4) has been solid in coming from the back row to chase a smart rival in the last two outings. His lone career won came at this distance. OUR BELLA LUCIA (2) has been racing well and a low draw could see her competitive again.
