RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Stacks of chances in the opener and I don’t mind one that I think will start genuine each-way odds. His name is PRIORITISE (1) and he brings form from the Sunraysia to Melton. Last time out at Mildura, he worked very hard to find the front and still kicked late to only be beaten 1.4m by the handy Bizzness Class. He competed competitively through the Cup series before that, has good gate speed and should get a nice trip on the fence in a race that has pace aplenty off the front row. Small win, but bigger place play would be my suggested bet. MIGHTY JOLT (5) speared off the arm to lead and was only run down in the shadows of the post by Tara Victory in what was a great start for new trainer Dean Braun on March 28. Assume they’ll try for an all-the-way win here and he’s definitely capable of it. The other key hopes look to be ZANDA MAN (9), who won at Melton two back and was only narrowly denied by the smart Brooklyn Dan last weekend, and VINCENZO (11), who has another horrible gate to contend with, but will be steaming late if the tempo is hot.
