RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: RANGER RICK (5) trailed the leader, was held up for a run at a vital stage and finished off well for a close third behind Major Blitz at Ballarat last outing. He has returned from a spell in good form and was placed behind the outstanding pacer Keayang Renegade three starts ago so he must be considered as a winning chance. Trainer Aaron Dunn has three runners in the race named in honour of his father Barry and all are racing well enough to feature prominently. ONE GOLDEN DEAL (1) endured a tough trip when a brave fifth at Terang last week and she recorded a mile rate of 1.54.7 when she scored at Melton three starts ago so she warrants respect. SCOOTER LOU (2) won twice in succession prior to a seventh behind the smart pacer I Am The Storm at Terang and is perfectly drawn. JAZZY MELEA (6) will appreciate a drop back in class from her recent Metropolitan performances and should be finishing off nicely. VINNY ROCK (3) finished off best after securing a nice trip at Terang and BANDIT EYES (4) returns from a long stint in New South Wales. BACK: RANGER RICK (5) – 1.5 units (each way)
