Former NSW trained pacer Cantfindabettorman could make a return to his home state and contest this month’s Inter Dominion after taking out the Hygain 4YO & 5YO Championship at Melton on Saturday night.

A half-neck defeat was a tough pill to swallow for one big TAB punter who narrowly missed a large collect on Nakedtruth at Bendigo last week.

First home in Friday night’s $100,000 Newcastle Mile will earn a place in next month's Miracle Mile at Menangle and Leap To Fame will be heavily favoured to extend a winning streak that includes major victories in the Inter Dominion and A. G. Hunter Cup.
