One of the biggest meetings on the harness racing calendar deserves a massive edition of Burning Questions and that’s just what has been served up ahead of Saturday night’s blockbuster card from Melton.
Jason Bonnington, Tim O’Connor, Michael Stanley and David Moran helped break down the mystery surrounding the races at Tabcorp Park, including the four Group 1s.
The huge agenda included:
* Does Sal fly the gate in Cup with Honolua Bay or will the top two dictate terms and make their rivals pay?
* Can Grant Dixon find the front in Derby without cost and does it even matter knowing Captain is a boss?
* Will Relentless hold them wide from gate one in Oaks or will Just Hope/Petillante cross her if they’re coaxed?
* Do they come charging out in feature trot knowing that Elida will just relish such a fight?
* Is Hes Ideal vulnerable from second row in first?
* Will Pull The Other Leg bounce back from last-start failure?
* Is Ladies In Red vulnerable first-up against old foe?
* Can Harry Stamper hold the role he needs to win Holmfield?
* Is this Tango Tara’s chance to win in front?
* Are Emma’s juveniles a class above or can School Captain rock the boat in boys’ division?
