OVERVIEW: Awfully tricky start to the night at Melton where there’s a stack of winning chances over the 1720m, but I was really taken by the recent trial and subsequent win of HOORAH PHILTRA (5). First-up for the Ashleigh Herbertson yard on May 2, he sat parked on a solid speed and proved too good for a handy field. He might have improved since the stable change and looks a good chance here. SAVON DE ROCHE (12) is a really nice pacer for Kate Hargreaves and heads here on the back of a slick win at Bendigo and brave runner-up effort to the handy Midnight Moth at the same track. The gate is tough, but she will be storming home. BIZZNESS CLASS (6) had some outstanding sectionals, including the best last half despite covering stacks of extra ground in a race four of these contested at Melton last weekend and must rate as a hope if the speed is genuine, while OZZIE CORKA (2) ran well at massive odds in that same event and draws to find the top early here. The chances certainly don’t end there…
