Race comment
OVERVIEW: Heats of tonight’s Melton Pace Final were staged here at HQ last weekend and while the times for both qualifiers were comparable, the first preliminary was far stronger than the second. In terms of early tactics, the only two front row runners likely to have an early dip are SANDAY (1) and DESSIE GEE (3) with SANDAY (1) likely to win that early war based on last week’s evidence. With his advantageous second-line draw, right behind DESSIE GEE (3), red-figure fave YAMBUKIAN (9) should slice through early and be challenging for top spot before long and if he finds the top with relative comfort he clearly rates on top. With that on record, he’s also a work in progress and if one or two things don’t shake out as expected he’s far from gilt-edged tonight. Last week SPRING IN HIS STEP (12) and IM OFF N GONE (5) both made late ground on YAMBUKIAN (9) in a 54.6-sec final half so they won’t need heaps of fortune to figure while CRIME WRITER (11) may have needed the run last week at is his first crack back from an excellent Queensland mini-prep and he’s actually a better horse winding up than sprinting quickly off an inside journey. The massive overs here – and best roughie of the night if only for a place – is MIGHTY FLYING ART (8). Last weekend he was chopped out of a sprint lane run when hitting top gear and tonight he either trails in transit or races three poles. From behind the leader he can almost win and from three poles he remains a great drum-bet around the $6 at time of writing. EARLY SPEED: 1 (Likely Leader) + 3 RATINGS: 9/ 12/ 11/ 8/ 5/ 1/ 10/ 6/ 4/ 13/ 3/ 7

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Heats of tonight’s Melton Pace Final were staged here at HQ last weekend and while the times for both qualifiers were comparable, the first preliminary was far stronger than the second. In terms of early tactics, the only two front row runners likely to have an early dip are SANDAY (1) and DESSIE GEE (3) with SANDAY (1) likely to win that early war based on last week’s evidence. With his advantageous second-line draw, right behind DESSIE GEE (3), red-figure fave YAMBUKIAN (9) should slice through early and be challenging for top spot before long and if he finds the top with relative comfort he clearly rates on top. With that on record, he’s also a work in progress and if one or two things don’t shake out as expected he’s far from gilt-edged tonight. Last week SPRING IN HIS STEP (12) and IM OFF N GONE (5) both made late ground on YAMBUKIAN (9) in a 54.6-sec final half so they won’t need heaps of fortune to figure while CRIME WRITER (11) may have needed the run last week at is his first crack back from an excellent Queensland mini-prep and he’s actually a better horse winding up than sprinting quickly off an inside journey. The massive overs here – and best roughie of the night if only for a place – is MIGHTY FLYING ART (8). Last weekend he was chopped out of a sprint lane run when hitting top gear and tonight he either trails in transit or races three poles. From behind the leader he can almost win and from three poles he remains a great drum-bet around the $6 at time of writing. EARLY SPEED: 1 (Likely Leader) + 3 RATINGS: 9/ 12/ 11/ 8/ 5/ 1/ 10/ 6/ 4/ 13/ 3/ 7

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Heats of tonight’s Melton Pace Final were staged here at HQ last weekend and while the times for both qualifiers were comparable, the first preliminary was far stronger than the second. In terms of early tactics, the only two front row runners likely to have an early dip are SANDAY (1) and DESSIE GEE (3) with SANDAY (1) likely to win that early war based on last week’s evidence. With his advantageous second-line draw, right behind DESSIE GEE (3), red-figure fave YAMBUKIAN (9) should slice through early and be challenging for top spot before long and if he finds the top with relative comfort he clearly rates on top. With that on record, he’s also a work in progress and if one or two things don’t shake out as expected he’s far from gilt-edged tonight. Last week SPRING IN HIS STEP (12) and IM OFF N GONE (5) both made late ground on YAMBUKIAN (9) in a 54.6-sec final half so they won’t need heaps of fortune to figure while CRIME WRITER (11) may have needed the run last week at is his first crack back from an excellent Queensland mini-prep and he’s actually a better horse winding up than sprinting quickly off an inside journey. The massive overs here – and best roughie of the night if only for a place – is MIGHTY FLYING ART (8). Last weekend he was chopped out of a sprint lane run when hitting top gear and tonight he either trails in transit or races three poles. From behind the leader he can almost win and from three poles he remains a great drum-bet around the $6 at time of writing. EARLY SPEED: 1 (Likely Leader) + 3 RATINGS: 9/ 12/ 11/ 8/ 5/ 1/ 10/ 6/ 4/ 13/ 3/ 7

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Heats of tonight’s Melton Pace Final were staged here at HQ last weekend and while the times for both qualifiers were comparable, the first preliminary was far stronger than the second. In terms of early tactics, the only two front row runners likely to have an early dip are SANDAY (1) and DESSIE GEE (3) with SANDAY (1) likely to win that early war based on last week’s evidence. With his advantageous second-line draw, right behind DESSIE GEE (3), red-figure fave YAMBUKIAN (9) should slice through early and be challenging for top spot before long and if he finds the top with relative comfort he clearly rates on top. With that on record, he’s also a work in progress and if one or two things don’t shake out as expected he’s far from gilt-edged tonight. Last week SPRING IN HIS STEP (12) and IM OFF N GONE (5) both made late ground on YAMBUKIAN (9) in a 54.6-sec final half so they won’t need heaps of fortune to figure while CRIME WRITER (11) may have needed the run last week at is his first crack back from an excellent Queensland mini-prep and he’s actually a better horse winding up than sprinting quickly off an inside journey. The massive overs here – and best roughie of the night if only for a place – is MIGHTY FLYING ART (8). Last weekend he was chopped out of a sprint lane run when hitting top gear and tonight he either trails in transit or races three poles. From behind the leader he can almost win and from three poles he remains a great drum-bet around the $6 at time of writing. EARLY SPEED: 1 (Likely Leader) + 3 RATINGS: 9/ 12/ 11/ 8/ 5/ 1/ 10/ 6/ 4/ 13/ 3/ 7

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Heats of tonight’s Melton Pace Final were staged here at HQ last weekend and while the times for both qualifiers were comparable, the first preliminary was far stronger than the second. In terms of early tactics, the only two front row runners likely to have an early dip are SANDAY (1) and DESSIE GEE (3) with SANDAY (1) likely to win that early war based on last week’s evidence. With his advantageous second-line draw, right behind DESSIE GEE (3), red-figure fave YAMBUKIAN (9) should slice through early and be challenging for top spot before long and if he finds the top with relative comfort he clearly rates on top. With that on record, he’s also a work in progress and if one or two things don’t shake out as expected he’s far from gilt-edged tonight. Last week SPRING IN HIS STEP (12) and IM OFF N GONE (5) both made late ground on YAMBUKIAN (9) in a 54.6-sec final half so they won’t need heaps of fortune to figure while CRIME WRITER (11) may have needed the run last week at is his first crack back from an excellent Queensland mini-prep and he’s actually a better horse winding up than sprinting quickly off an inside journey. The massive overs here – and best roughie of the night if only for a place – is MIGHTY FLYING ART (8). Last weekend he was chopped out of a sprint lane run when hitting top gear and tonight he either trails in transit or races three poles. From behind the leader he can almost win and from three poles he remains a great drum-bet around the $6 at time of writing. EARLY SPEED: 1 (Likely Leader) + 3 RATINGS: 9/ 12/ 11/ 8/ 5/ 1/ 10/ 6/ 4/ 13/ 3/ 7
