SELECTIONS: MYDEEPESTDESIRE (4), PET WOLF (3), EVA EXPRESS (2), MYSTIC MOTIVER (9)
OVERVIEW: The opening event at Melton is a maiden, but there are plenty of smart horses early in their careers, making this a competitive race. MYDEEPESTDESIRE (4) has had three career starts, drawing poor barriers each time and enduring three very tough runs in narrow defeat. He clearly has ability, is tough and shouldn’t remain a maiden for long. PET WOLF (3) is another impressive, lightly raced horse. He has had four starts since December 2025 and has yet to miss a place. He has good gate speed and is likely to find the fence first here. EVA EXPRESS (2) is having her second career start. On debut, she finished fourth after flashing home nicely when popping out from a three-back-the-fence position. She should improve with the experience and added fitness. MYSTIC MOTIVER (9) covered an extra 41 metres while racing wide last start and was still rattling home late to finish second. She looks like a smart type and has been unlucky not to break through for her maiden victory.
BACK: MYDEEPESTDESIRE (4) – 2 units (win)
