SELECTIONS: LEAP TO FAME (6), BULLETPROOF BOY (4), CATCH A WAVE (5), RAKAJED (1)
OVERVIEW: LEAP TO FAME (6) makes his third appearance at Melton in as many weeks and will be looking for some redemption after his surprise defeat behind BULLETPROOF BOY (4) in the Smoken Up Sprint and his third in the Victoria Cup. He never really travelled well after commencing from the inside of the second line last week but he did show all of his champion qualities to keep battling on bravely after enduring the toughest run of the race. He is Australasia’s champion pacer and there is an excellent chance he will be returning to winning form here. BULLETPROOF BOY (4) caused the upset two weeks ago when he sprinted home fast from three back on the inside. He couldn’t work into the race from a poor draw in the Victoria Cup and should go well under these conditions. CATCH A WAVE (5) trailed the leader from the pole position and failed to run on as expected in the Victoria Cup. He won comfortably prior and is worth another chance. RAKAJED (1) is drawn to suit his racing pattern and is worth thought in multiple combinations.
EARLY SPEED: 6 (likely leader), 1,2,4,5
