Race comment
OVERVIEW: Like they did last week, the open class trotters kick-start the night at Melton where LOVEMETO (7) gets back onto the front line. He has really emerged as a top-line squaregaiter in recent months and ran well despite being defeated as favourite on May 30. Before that, he sat parked to win while defeating five rivals that reoppose here. It was a top performance and leads me to think he can overcome the barrier seven draw. KEAYANG STUKA (4) will likely fly across in a bid for the lead and could prove hard to catch based on his form this campaign. He led and won first-up at Bendigo and was the best horse off the pegs in a frantic 2240m contest here last week behind I AM WILMA (1). The latter sprint-laned to victory from the same gate she gets in this race and will be very hard to hold out once again, while IM BOBBY (8) was only nailed in the shadows of the post by that aforementioned rival and is sure to run another good race.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Like they did last week, the open class trotters kick-start the night at Melton where LOVEMETO (7) gets back onto the front line. He has really emerged as a top-line squaregaiter in recent months and ran well despite being defeated as favourite on May 30. Before that, he sat parked to win while defeating five rivals that reoppose here. It was a top performance and leads me to think he can overcome the barrier seven draw. KEAYANG STUKA (4) will likely fly across in a bid for the lead and could prove hard to catch based on his form this campaign. He led and won first-up at Bendigo and was the best horse off the pegs in a frantic 2240m contest here last week behind I AM WILMA (1). The latter sprint-laned to victory from the same gate she gets in this race and will be very hard to hold out once again, while IM BOBBY (8) was only nailed in the shadows of the post by that aforementioned rival and is sure to run another good race.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Like they did last week, the open class trotters kick-start the night at Melton where LOVEMETO (7) gets back onto the front line. He has really emerged as a top-line squaregaiter in recent months and ran well despite being defeated as favourite on May 30. Before that, he sat parked to win while defeating five rivals that reoppose here. It was a top performance and leads me to think he can overcome the barrier seven draw. KEAYANG STUKA (4) will likely fly across in a bid for the lead and could prove hard to catch based on his form this campaign. He led and won first-up at Bendigo and was the best horse off the pegs in a frantic 2240m contest here last week behind I AM WILMA (1). The latter sprint-laned to victory from the same gate she gets in this race and will be very hard to hold out once again, while IM BOBBY (8) was only nailed in the shadows of the post by that aforementioned rival and is sure to run another good race.
