FORTUNES MELODY can put her experience over fences to good use and get her head in front this time around. A useful hurdler in France, the 5-y-o finished runner-up on 4 of her last 5 starts sent chasing in 2021/22, including when bumping into one over C&D on her penultimate outing. Could Be Trouble is well worth another chance over fences and is feared most.
