Meldubious resumes with dominant win

Meldubious with Michael Rodd aboard wins at Eagle Farm

---

​Lightly raced four year-old Meldubious was dominant fresh winning a strong Class 1 at his home track of Eagle Farm.

Having just his fourth start, Meldubious was warmly supported by punters to start $2 fav. Favourite backers did have some nervous moments early when replacement rider Michael Rodd was trapped three deep.

Rodd didn’t panic and kept Meldubious in a beautiful rhythm despite covering ground. Entering the straight, Meldubious quickly claimed the lead and never looked in doubt to defeat Fireforce and Sum Invictus.

Rodd replaced an indisposed Ryan Maloney, who had partnered Meldubious to his maiden win last preparation.

Commencing just his second racing preparation, Meldubious has now had 4 start for 2 wins and 1 placing.

Meldubious was secured by OnTrack CEO Grant Morgan for $77,000 from the 2023 Magic Millions QTIS Yearling Sale.

Meldubious is out of the Listed Purrealist mare Melrose Place, who has had 5 winners from 5 foals.

Meldubious is a half brother to the high class Singapore stakes winner Tiger Roar, a winner of 7 races (1200m to 1800m) including the Listed Singapore 3yo Sprint.
