Melton Race 5

Hip Pocket Castlemaine Pace

Stake: $16,200

ROYAL DIVISION (11) came from this row for a resuming third then progressed to score from a wide barrier here last week. That took his strike rate at this distance to 50 per cent and while drawn wide on the back row he looks capable of taking another step forward. UBETTA KNOT (1) continues to race well with a string of top-two finishes including a win here two back. The ace draw gives her every chance to continue the strong form. HARRYHOO (9) drew wide in a stronger race last time but had recorded a win and two placings from the previous three starts so is worth another chance. JACCKA CONNOR (8) could be close to a win after coming from this barrier for second here last week.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Sweetpassion at this track over 1720m in a NR 70 to 79 on April 19 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Meteor Moth at this track over 2240m in a NR 73 to 83 on May 3 at $21. Winning prospects.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr7) over 2240m at this track, at the bell was 10th-19.76 beaten 13 m by Meteor Moth (2:41.00) in NR 73 to 83 on May 3 at $101.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Let Her Roll at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 79 M on April 12 at $18. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Le Belle Bijoux at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 79 M on May 3 at $19. Has claims.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
