The Lost Storm returns to the winner’s stall

Talented four-year-old pacer The Lost Storm (Captaintreacherous) recaptured his best harness racing form to take out the Vicbred Super Series (4YO Entires & Geldings) (1st Semi Final) at Melton. 

The Lost Storm sped to the early lead however Mark Pitt was content to take a sit and await his chance along sprint lane when the $2.40 favorite Keayang Tokyo came looking for the front with 1600 metres to travel. 

And that was the scenario in the home straight as The Lost Storm ($4.20) mustered sufficient speed along the sprint lane to get the verdict by a head from Keayang Tokyo with Perfect Class a metre away third in a mile rate of 1:54.4. 

BACK TO HIS BEST! 🌩️

The Emma Stewart trained pacer hasn’t been seen in the winner’s circle since saluting at Melton in May 

“It’s probably taken him a few runs to get back to his peak form that he left off during his last campaign,” Pitt said.  

“He got the run of the race tonight and was too strong for them late,” he said. 

Pitt nominated the place getters as the horses to beat in next week’s $150,000 Final. 

“I’m sure Keayang Tokyo and Perfect Class are going to be the two main dangers going into the final so let’s hope that we can get a barrier draw advantage over them,” he said.
