MELTON was Friday’s venue on March 14, and Kilmore duo Maryanne Laffin and Steven (Bluey) Matson provided a surprising long shot winner in 8YO Hes Watching-Angelica Rose gelding Topzavski ($18), who landed the 1720m Betavet Pace.
In what was most probably the ‘drive of the night’ by Bluey, Topzavski, starting from gate two on the second line, weaved a passage in-between runner to possie one/one as Zaras All Good led from gate three.
Easing three wide prior to the home turn, Topzavski finished solidly to register a 1.4m margin (his first since June 2024 at Echuca) over Silver Domino (gate four) who trailed him all the way.
One Off mid-field from inside the second line was third out very wide a half neck back. The mile rate 1-59.7
