Melton Race 7

Renown Silverware Trot

Stake: $19,075

ALDEBARAN VERA (5) did a good job when placed behind a handy rival last week and she had kicked off her campaign with back-to-back wins at this circuit so has been going well. She finds another winnable assignment. HEPHAESTUS PHOENIX (4) dropped in trip and was down the track last time but had been racing well before that including a second in a higher-graded race here two back. Suited up to a distance where he races well. Big chance. HATCHBACK (6) is the next elect having found form with a last-start win by 3 metres at this venue. JAZSPUR (7) has been freshened since a last-start fourth from the back row but has trialled and had put together a string of wins and placings before that. Respect.

Last start 7th (Fr5) over 2240m after being wide early at this track, beaten 30 m by Virginia Clowers (2:44.80) in 4yo LR M on June 22 at $11.

Two back was well beaten into tenth behind Virginia Clowers at this track over 2240m in a 4yo LR M on June 22 at $3.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing third behind One Over All at this track over 2240m in a NR 80 on June 29 at $3.10. Has the ability to take this out.
