Melton R2 LS MIMI EXCAVATIONS TROT

Race comment

OVERVIEW: Harness Racing Victoria have shown some creativity with their programming here, throwing in a one-metro-win contest for – fundamentally – trotting mares. The problem is we’ll either need at least that much creativity, or a dose of divine intervention if we’re finding the winner. Essentially, we can split the major winning hopes into two categories. On one hand there’s the classy-but-not-yet-fully-fit duo OFORTUNA (7) and BALTICA (8). On the other there’s a group of mares that have been tackling one another on a very regular basis of late and largely sharing the baton in QUEENS INVASION (6), IMAMAMAORIJET (10), SULTAN SASS (11) and ALDEBARAN KIRI (3). The key runner seems to be OFORTUNA (7). At her best, she has the most scope of all-comers here, and, if she were used off the gate, the lead may well be hers. For those reasons she rates as the testing material here with fellow ‘class’ commodity BALTICA (8) her chief threat off the back of an encouraging trial at this course two weeks ago. Of the fitter brigade QUEENS INVASION (6) has the draw advantage so heads that ‘peloton’ of hopes with IMAMAORIJET (10), SULTAN SASS (11) and, to a slightly lesser extent, ALDEBARAN KIRI (3) all worth consideration for Early Quad investors. EARLY SPEED: 3,5,6,7 + 1,4 RATINGS: 7/ 8/ 6/ 10/ 11/ 3/ 2/ 4/ 9/ 1/ 5
