Melton R5 TAB LONG MAY WE PLAY PACE

Race comment

OVERVIEW: Despite the quality of tonight’s fast class pace it’s difficult to see how ALWAYS FAST (3) and SIRLETIC (8) won’t dominate both the narrative and the contest itself. ALWAYS FAST (3) provides the biggest conundrum here. His dramatic improvement last prep coincided with being driven more conservatively against elite opposition but tonight he’s almost duty bound to run the gate and demand the front. Both horses to his inside have early pace but both should eventually hand-up; the question will be how long and how taxing the search for ascendancy becomes. The good news for Ride High’s half-bro is that the pressure should drop right out of the race if and when he does take control and the fact he trialled so well for his return makes his a clear top pick. That being said, if they run a blistering first section, or if ALWAYS FAST (3) fails in his bid to lead then SIRLETIC (8) becomes an ominous threat. He too loves a soft journey and the way he roared home fresh last start was a fair guide to what this preparation may yield. The only other realistic winning chance is BONCEL BENJAMIN (7) and that’s only in the unlikely event he rips across to lead from gate seven. Those playing exotics however should also pay heed to YORKSHIRE (1), RUPERT OF LINCOLN (4) and also ROCK N ROLL CHAPEL (9). EARLY SPEED: 3 (Likely Leader) + 2,7 + 1 RATINGS: 3/ 8/ 7/ 1/ 4/ 9/ 2/ 6/ 5
