OVERVIEW: HOPPY (3) has returned from a spell in peak form and will take beating from his good draw. He was driven aggressively and proved to be too strong at his latest Melton victory over Promise Dream. SEBASTIANS BOY (12) will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment and should be finishing strongly. He scored at Melton on July 12 and his past two efforts have been against the open class with his latest seventh being behind the in-form trotter I’m Bobby. OUR MARVELLA (8) worked forward to find the lead and was able to score comfortably at Melton last week. She faces a negative swing in the barrier draw but is racing too well to dismiss. REMUS PHOENIX (7) struck bother and lost his chance last outing. His form prior was sound and he is worth another chance. EARLY SPEED: 2 9possible leader), 1,3,6 RATINGS: 3/ 7,8,12/ 2,4,10

OVERVIEW: HOPPY (3) has returned from a spell in peak form and will take beating from his good draw. He was driven aggressively and proved to be too strong at his latest Melton victory over Promise Dream. SEBASTIANS BOY (12) will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment and should be finishing strongly. He scored at Melton on July 12 and his past two efforts have been against the open class with his latest seventh being behind the in-form trotter I’m Bobby. OUR MARVELLA (8) worked forward to find the lead and was able to score comfortably at Melton last week. She faces a negative swing in the barrier draw but is racing too well to dismiss.

OVERVIEW: HOPPY (3) has returned from a spell in peak form and will take beating from his good draw. He was driven aggressively and proved to be too strong at his latest Melton victory over Promise Dream. SEBASTIANS BOY (12) will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment and should be finishing strongly. He scored at Melton on July 12 and his past two efforts have been against the open class with his latest seventh being behind the in-form trotter I’m Bobby. OUR MARVELLA (8) worked forward to find the lead and was able to score comfortably at Melton last week. She faces a negative swing in the barrier draw but is racing too well to dismiss. REMUS PHOENIX (7) struck bother and lost his chance last outing. His form prior was sound and he is worth another chance. EARLY SPEED: 2 9possible leader), 1,3,6 RATINGS: 3/ 7,8,12/ 2,4,10

He was driven aggressively and proved to be too strong at his latest Melton victory over Promise Dream. SEBASTIANS BOY (12) will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment and should be finishing strongly. He scored at Melton on July 12 and his past two efforts have been against the open class with his latest seventh being behind the in-form trotter I’m Bobby. OUR MARVELLA (8) worked forward to find the lead and was able to score comfortably at Melton last week. She faces a negative swing in the barrier draw but is racing too well to dismiss. REMUS PHOENIX (7) struck bother and lost his chance last outing. His form prior was sound and he is worth another chance. EARLY SPEED: 2 9possible leader), 1,3,6 RATINGS: 3/ 7,8,12/ 2,4,10
