Melton Race 7 - Vicbred Voucher Trot
KEAYANG MINNESOTA (8) made it two wins from two runs this prep last start when she got the cash by 3.5 metres over 1609m at Geelong. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Taking on a better field but she is up to the task. LITTLE MISS MORGAN (2) found form and finished in the money two runs ago then came back to earth when she broke and finished fourth last start over 2240m at this track, coming home 14 metres from the winner. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Won't find this any harder so she can return to form. HARPERSEVEN (6) comes here following a Group One fourth eight months ago over 2240m at this track, beaten 13 metres by ADELAIDE RED. Proven performer in quality races; must be respected. LORD LOGAN (3) must be included after winning his past two starts, the latest at Geelong a week ago.

Two back was well beaten into second behind At The Distance at this track over 1720m on July 31 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind The Preacher at this track over 2240m on August 12 at $61. Has the inside draw and is expected to go very well.

Scored at his last two starts. Last start posted a big 4 m win as favourite (Fr5) at Geelong (2:39.00) beating Rama Saigo in on August 14 at $1.75. Hard to leave out on current form. Another big run would not surprise.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr3) over 2190m at Maryborough well beaten by Poppy Popstar (2:47.90) in M on August 3 at $13. Two runs back 3rd (Fr3) over 1720m at this track beaten 14 m by At The Distance (2:08.10) on July 31 at $8. This looks a far sterner test.
