Melton R1 MAURI PACE

Race comment

OVERVIEW: Grand Final night has finally arrived and the best advice for any title bout, including this one, is not to bother playing pretty; it won’t get you far. This opening contest is somewhat confused by a comparatively slow front line but the value play is clear and his name is MIRAKURU (13). There’s no doubt his grandstand gate hurts but this bloke has been ablaze in his three runs back and if Steve Cleave’s rating of him as a future Country Cups commodity is correct he can do the work required here with an inch of luck. Despite lacking natural gate speed his major threat should be HUGO ROCKS (1) given there’s a great chance he simply won’t be challenged at the start. Should that be the case  he’ll let rip from the 800m and probably validate his miserly opening quote. Other winning hopes are ZADAKA (9) who is thriving in Vic and drops back form tackling Max Delight last start along with MAJOR DELICO (12) and also ARTS DASH (5) who seems massive odds for a horse with well above average ability on his night. EARLY SPEED: 1 + 3? RATINGS: 13/ 1/ 9/ 12/ 5/ 8/ 7/ 3/ 4/ 6/ 11
