Melton Race 1

Downunder Sulky Company

Stake: $7,560

SAMKERR (13) has been freshened since a narrow defeat in a Gold Bracelet consolation at Bathurst but won the last two times she raced in Victoria, scoring in her lone attempt at this circuit and distance three back. Good enough to overcome the back row draw. GOLDEN SHOOZ (11) kicked off the campaign with back-to-back placings before leading for a dominant win by 8 metres at Geelong last start. No favours expected from this draw but she is in good form. MY WAY NZ (2) draws well and has claims off a win from a wide barrier two back at Ballarat. STEEL THE MOMENT (5) has a solid record here and is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance at Bendigo. Something for the Multiples: SAMKERR NZ (13)

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Fr4) over 1690m after showing early speed at Kilmore, at the bell was 7th-11.8m 2WWC beaten 15 m by Ima Terminator (2:00.40) in NR 56 to 62 on April 24 at $71. Showed ability the run before when he won by a nose (Fr7) at Ballarat (2:43.10) beating Sometuffluv in NR 50 to 56 on April 3 at $13 at the bell was 5th-7.69. Better than the last run and can improve sharply.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when was well back in the run when 8th (Fr5) over 1609m at Geelong beaten 45 m by Golden Shooz (1:52.30) in NR 56 to 64 on May 2 at $71. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Fr2) over 1720m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 3rd-5.06 beaten 9 m by Final Collect (2:02.30) in NR 60 to 72 on May 3 at $71. Before that 6th (Fr1) over 2240m at this track, at the bell was 6th-7.85 beaten 10 m by Ubetta Knot (2:42.60) in NR 60 to 69 on April 19 at $61. Might need easier.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Sugar Pie Honey at Bathurst over 1730m in a 3yo No NR F on March 24 at $4.20. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Dolly Rocket at Bathurst over 1730m in a 3yo No NR F on March 28 at $1.30. Strong claims.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
