The Storm Inside versus Sofala, a quality crop of three-year-olds and the progression of returning contender Philadelphia Man will be among the feature moments in Saturday night’s racing at Tabcorp Park Melton.

Good Form analyst Blake Redden has drawn a big circle around race two, the Garrards Horse and Hound Pace Final, featuring Donna Castles’ winner of four straight (Sofala) against Emma Stewart’s The Storm Inside, who’s unbeaten at 10 attempts.

“The Storm Inside made it 10 straight when stomping clear at Ballarat last time and we’re yet to see anything like the bottom of him in his career to date, so if he zips across them early it will take a mighty performance to run him down,” Redden said.

“Sofala may well be able to stake claim to being that giant-killer. He is incredibly raw but ultra-talented and if he was able to put it all together, he would have an outside shot of knocking off the likely favourite.”

GET ALL THE GOOD FORM FOR SATURDAY NIGHT

There will also be plenty of interest in the Always B Miki Graduate, with Kerryn Manning trained Yankee Lincoln, unbeaten in two starts, to test that form against the likes of Tam Major.

That race follows the big dance, the Blacks A Fake Free For All at 7.33pm, when Berisari is marked favourite despite a tricky second line draw in an even race that features plenty of front line talent.

Berisari’s stablemate Philadelphia Man (pictured) will likely also draw much interest, with the veteran second up after an encouraging return on July 21, which broke almost three years on the sidelines.

Reinsman Chris Alford said “he felt pretty good” on return in the Hygain Our Maestro Free For All.

“If you look at the sectionals he went 1:52 in the last mile and probably would have run fourth but was checked in the straight,” he said. “I think he’s still got it, otherwise they wouldn’t be sending him around. The more racing he has the better he will get.”

His second row draw will likely ensure he’s driven quietly again on Saturday night as he builds up to full race fitness.

“I will probably drive him for one run,” Alford said. “Hopefully there will be a bit more tempo than last time so we can get him up there late.

“He’s always been driven as the enforcer and makes his own luck, but when he is first up in three years you have to drive him a bit soft. If he can put three or four runs together we will try and put in the race so he can use his strength like he used to.”
