Melton R4 ALLIED EXPRESS RICHMOND LASS (GROUP 3)

Race comment

OVERVIEW: Every time former Kiwi mare SPELLBOUND (8) circumnavigates the Tabcorp Park circuit punters and pundits hope they’ll answer one crucial question. Is she on another level to Victoria’s local female pacers or is she overrated in the overall scheme. Two things are worth noting; one is that she’s yet to be rolled or even genuinely challenged in three Australian starts. The other is that tonight’s draw; which will see her awkwardly placed early, may be a blessing in disguise. All roads lead to her rivals wanting to see SPELLBOUND (8) at the biggest positional disadvantage they can muster but ultimately this could lead to loads of moves being made and a genuine tempo ensuing. It’s well worth remembering that the Kiwi mare’s best Aussie win came when sitting off the pace so there’s every chance she’ll not only continue her Aussie winning streak but do so more dominantly than we’ve seen at her past two starts. The two most obvious threats for SPELLBOUND (8) are GOODTIME HEAVEN (10) who loves the mile and excels fresh (5 wins and 2 placings from 7 attempts) and ROCK N ROLL CHAPEL (9) who returns to her own gender after two excellent runs against the boys since resuming. Much smaller cases can be made for plenty of others headed by IOLANTA (6) and dynamite sit-sprinter DELIGHTFUL JAZZ (7) though both would need loads of luck to cause an upset result. EARLY SPEED: 2 (Likely Early Leader) + 4,5 + 1,3 RATINGS: 8/ 10/ 9/ 6/ 7/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 1
