Melton Race 7 - Hrv Licence Renewals Now Open Trot

PHOENIX REX (3) looks a colt of some promise having kicked off his career with a 14m win at this circuit and distance. Has won a trial since so should have come on and a good draw could see him go on with it. MAJARO GIRL (4) is a newcomer to the Andy Gath yard from NSW where she has put together a string of top-four results highlighted by a Menangle win. Could make an immediate impact for a premier barn. PIQUE (1) broke last start but led for a Ballarat win prior so with manners she can be prominent from the ace draw. DANCE FIGHTER (8) won the last time she raced here. Draws for a trail so watch the betting first up. ARGYLE MUSE (5) put the writing on the wall with a Geelong placing last week and will be hitting peak fitness now.

Won on debut failed to make any headway until the straight; raced back and made ground from the turn; posted a big 14 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (2:53.60) beating Delightful Reyna in 2yo on June 26 at $1.50 at the bell was 4th-6.19. Promising and from a low draw can strike again.
