Melton Race 4 - Melton Entertainment Park Trot

DANCE FIGHTER (7) put the writing on the wall when runner-up two runs ago then improved again at her latest appearance when successful at Maryborough, getting home by 9.5 metres after leading. Tactics will be crucial from a wider draw but with even luck she can make it two on the bounce. OLIVER SMUDGE (3) returned from a spell in very good order last time out, coming from this barrier and getting home by 3 metres at Charlton. Very lightly-raced so has upside. Could go through his grades now. SHINELIKETHESUN (5) has been let down by manners in both outings since a good fresh effort. Has the ability if she behaves. GLOBAL ELITE (8) was in the money two starts ago then things went wrong last start when she broke. Has trialled since and there is no harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. Worth another chance.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 9th (Fr1) over 2190m at Maryborough well beaten by Dance Fighter (2:49.80) on October 30 at $1.90. The run before 7th (Sr1) over 1690m at Maryborough beaten 75 m by Wind Storm (2:05.70) on October 25 at $2.30. Manners have been letting her down but she is capable if she gets it right.
