Race comment
OVERVIEW: Quality fast class event to start a wonderful night of racing at Melton and it’s with some trepidation I side with CATCH A WAVE (2). He’s a horse who has been awfully hard for punters to follow, but did have plenty of excuses when running last in a race that looked his for the taking at Kilmore a few weeks ago. He was trapped wide for the last lap and dropped out. Given LOUIE LOU I (1) tends to take cover in his races, it looks as though CATCH A WAVE (2) might be able to glide across and control this from the front. Something near his best will be winning, but will we see it? JILLIBY NITRO (7) drops back from very competitive efforts behind Leap to Fame and Swayzee in the Cranbourne, Kilmore and Hunter cups. He can win for sure. LOUIE LOU I (1) is a very honest customer who always finishes his races off well so has to be a factor from the gate, while ALOT LIKE LOUIE (3) ran a cracker in that aforementioned race at Kilmore and backed it up with a brave death seat second to Ghost Of Time last weekend.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Quality fast class event to start a wonderful night of racing at Melton and it’s with some trepidation I side with CATCH A WAVE (2). He’s a horse who has been awfully hard for punters to follow, but did have plenty of excuses when running last in a race that looked his for the taking at Kilmore a few weeks ago. He was trapped wide for the last lap and dropped out. Given LOUIE LOU I (1) tends to take cover in his races, it looks as though CATCH A WAVE (2) might be able to glide across and control this from the front. Something near his best will be winning, but will we see it? JILLIBY NITRO (7) drops back from very competitive efforts behind Leap to Fame and Swayzee in the Cranbourne, Kilmore and Hunter cups. He can win for sure. LOUIE LOU I (1) is a very honest customer who always finishes his races off well so has to be a factor from the gate, while ALOT LIKE LOUIE (3) ran a cracker in that aforementioned race at Kilmore and backed it up with a brave death seat second to Ghost Of Time last weekend.
