RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: GO EASY ON ME (9) looks a really promising pacer for young trainer Courtney Laker and she heads to Melton on the back of two great efforts in New South Wales. First-up, she produced a big run for third behind the smart Brooklyn Dan at Wagga and then thrashed her rivals in a 35.8m demolition job at Bathurst on March 27. She competed well through the Breeders Crown series late last year and this looks a winnable assignment from the back row. LAMBRO MACH (11) has run a couple of good races his last couple for runner-up placings at Ballarat and Cranbourne, IM DOWNBYTHEBEACH (7) makes his Australian debut on the back of a New Zealand win and big trial success at Bendigo, ISOLATION (3) might be the early leader and can give a sight from the front and LETS GO LORNA (6) is a nice mare returning from a break. BACK: GO EASY ON ME (9) – 2 units (win)
