Melton Race 4

Garrards Horse And Hound 2Yo Trot

Stake: $16,200

JAYS ALL THAT (6) is a progressive colt who improved off a debut second at this circuit for a 4.4m win at Bendigo last start. Draws wider but has scope for further improvement. TRUSCOTTS ELEGANCE (3) is a consistent filly who has finished runner-up in both starts since a Bendigo win. Came from this row for a 2.2m second here last time. Big chance. HALLEBESOFINE (2) is open to improvement after leading from a similar draw on debut and sticking on for second behind JAYS ALL THAT. Elite Stride colt HOWDY MATE (4) debuts for Jess Tubbs. Has placed in both trials so can be competitive.

Good run when beaten by 4 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Northern Truscott at Bendigo over 1650m in a 2yo 0-1 WIN on April 9 at $4.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Unclad at this track over 1720m in a 2yo No NR on April 19 at $6.50. Winning claims.
