Melton Race 10 - Mimosa Homes Trot

FOUROUTOFFIVE (5) was in the money at this track two runs ago before finishing second at his latest appearance over 1720m here, beaten 4 metres. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. DICHOTOMY (7) progressed nicely last start at her second run of the prep when she finished 22 metres away in third despite breaking in the run over 2240m at this circuit. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat again. IJUSTCALLEDTOSAY (6) is the next elect off a last-start win by a neck at this venue over 1720m. Can go back-to-back. ALDEBARAN ABEL (1) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1720m at this course. A must for the multiples.

Back in form at the last couple of outings, two starts back posted a big 11 m win (Sr1) at this track (2:46.20) beating Ringer Wells in on August 8 at $3.40. Last start just missed, game effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1720m after racing wide at this track, at the bell was leading 1.93 beaten a neck by Ijustcalledtosay (2:04.90) on August 22 at $4.20. Big chance.

Well beaten last start by Ijustcalledtosay, a rival who he faces again; when 21 metres tenth at this track over 1720m in a race on August 22. This looks a far sterner task.

Didn't do much last time out, was well back in the run when 9th (Fr4) over 1720m at this track, beaten 35 m by Alrighty (2:04.70) on July 11 at $61. Before that was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr6) over 2240m at this track well beaten by Vytis (2:45.90) on June 20 at $26. Needs to lift.

Didn't do much last start, was well back in the run when 10th (Fr7) over 1720m at this track, beaten 40 m by Alrighty (2:04.70) on July 11 at $31. Before that 10th (Sr1) over 2240m at this track, at the bell was 8th-9.32 beaten 15 m by Hoppy (2:48.20) on July 4 at $26. Comes into this in ordinary form. Not keen.
