Melton Race 4 - Renown Silverware Trot
FREIGHT SHAKER (6) has been racing well of late and looks ready to win after a narrow defeat at his latest appearance at Geelong, coming from this barrier to be beaten a nose into second. Big chance to go one better. KEAYANG GYPSY (8) recorded another strong performance last time when she battled on bravely to just miss out by a neck at Geelong. She was just behind FREIGHT SHAKER there, her third placing from her last four starts. Strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance. Could break through. CENTURION DREAM (10) has put two wins together, one here and the other from a similar draw to this at Shepparton. With even luck she could land the hat trick. OX KNOX (2) came from wider to win here last time, his third success from his last four outings. Draws to be competitive again. ARTIGAS (4) added to a handy record at this venue when runner-up last time out.

Going well. Last start failed to make any headway until the straight; raced back and made ground from the turn; won by 5.5 m when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at this track (2:48.00) beating Thats My Cardigan in on September 18 at $3.80 at the bell was 5th-9.33. Drawn favourably so may be in the finish again.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 1.1 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (2:47.50) beating Artigas in on September 26 at $1.95 at the bell was 4th-5.22. Hard to leave out on current form. Tough draw but winning form is hard to knock.
