RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: HOORAH PHILTRA (4) has recently joined the Ashleigh Herbertson stable and impressed massively at the Melton trials on Tuesday with victory in a slick last half ahead of his first run for the barn. He has blistering gate speed and would be awfully hard to beat if he led, but can also win from the running line. MAAS BETTING AGAIN (3) has good early toe and Chris Alford might fancy trying for a repeat of her recent all-the-way wins at Bendigo and Echuca, FIRE MARSHALL (2) was dominant leading and winning at Charlton and Melton before excusable efforts his last two, while CEE CEE LOU (8) hasn’t enjoyed great trips in recent starts at Melton and might be able to run over the top if they overdo it in front. New South Wales raider SHADES OF MIKI (6) is an interesting runner and comes to Melton after a barnstorming second at Wagga when he rattled from last to just miss Scheming. BACK: HOORAH PHILTRA (4) – 1 unit (win)
