High quality mare Imsettogo was back on her best behaviour and returned to winning ways in impressive fashion on Friday night.

The Anton Golino-trained squaregaiter blew her chances of a fourth-successive victory on May 30 by galloping at the start, but got it all right six days later to take out the Pridmore Electrics Trot (2240m, NR 56-69).

The win at Tabcorp Park Melton was the horse's fifth since mid-February and lifted the daughter of Used To Me's prizemoney over $60,000.

Driver Darby McGuigan said he had lots of confidence in the mare despite her error at the same track a week earlier.

"I think she just tried to go a bit too fast," McGuigan said of the mistake. "There was a line of about five or six of us off the front all wanting to go forward and just as everything has come out with her, she has gone to take that stride too much and jumped up in the air.

"It was a bit of a shame because I thought she would have won last week as well. She made up so much ground on the main group and I thought with that run she'd go pretty close tonight as well."

McGuigan said he approached the start differently on Friday night.

"I just sort of held onto her a bit more. Anton wanted to go back because she is a fiery mare, so if he keeps heading her off the arm she is only going to go one way," he said. "So I was just happy to keep hold of her tonight and go back and just let her hit the line."
 

The Melton card was dominated by husband/wife team Andy and Kate Gath, which combined for a successful treble.

Ragnarr broke through for his first win since March and Arden Voyager continued his devastating front-running form with a second successive triumph before Chief Runningcloud ($53.60) blew most out of the quaddie with a stunning long-odds victory in the last race of the night.

The son of Lawman hadn't won since December last year and ran last at his most recent try at Melton, but turned it all around with a barnstorming finish in the Niota Bloodstock Trot (1720m, NR 70-120).

Sammy Showdown beat Chief Runningcloud by nearly 40m at their most recent battle, but had no answers for the five-year-old when he surged home in the straight.

"Rapt that he is back," driver Kate Gath said. "His first-up run was too bad to be true and this week he probably worked the best he has this time in.

"It was a terrific win tonight and I'm so happy for the owners. Peter Goudie and David Goudie and everyone else. Dave has got a lot of important friends in this horse and I'm rapt to win for them."

Greg Sugars produced drive of the night with the in-form Little Peanut, which weaved through the field from near last to win the Hyland Racing Colours Pace (1720m, NR 90-120).
