Melton R1 DNR LOGISTICS PACE

Race comment

OVERVIEW: There is overwhelming evidence to support the notion that positional advantage reigns supreme over outright class in Melton’s first event of a Saturday night but this opener looks likely to contradict that trend. Simply put, the talent advantage wielded by second row runners here should prove too great and, on face value, WOULD YOU MIND (9) all but picks himself. Despite being out of the winners’ circle for his past six starts Julie Douglas’s emerging 4YO is simply ablaze and with a quick beginner drawn directly in front he should find a striking role soon after the start. In total truth that fellow’s only serious threat is TANGO TARA (8). When that guy landed on Aussie shores most expected he’d go on a winning massacre that would only be challenged once he hit the 90’s or higher with regard to National Ratings. That presumption was exposed when he led and went under at his Aussie debut and while this assignment will again prove tough from an awkward alley it’s well worth remembering the elite cattle he sparred with back across the Tasman. Should you plan to play wider in Early Quads the others worthy of some consideration are MAJOR MANBAR (7) who lives for short trips and is capable of doing work at this level, IMNOPUMPKIN (11) who has shown serious potential and trialled well for his return and perhaps even JEMSOMS PET (10) who is surely better than his last couple of outings would suggest. EARLY SPEED: 2,3 + 6 RATINGS: 9/ 8/ 7/ 11/ 10/ 3/ 6/ 5/ 1/ 2
