RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Eight of these horses clashed at Melton on May 16 and it was LOVEMETO (9) who sat parked and raced clear to score a dominant victory. Based on that, it’s really hard to tip against him here and he’s likely to start a short-priced favourite. The step back in distance from 2240m to 1720m does change things a bit, but he’s in great form and is the one to beat. Stablemate REMUS PHOENIX (5) charged home from back in the field from a bad draw to run second there and is a logical danger, PINNIE (1) led and won over this trip in late March and can improve sharpy from the good draw and by being on-speed, while IM BOBBY (8) disappointed when leading in that aforementioned race but was first-up without a trial and his best can win this. BACK: PINNIE (1) – 3 units (place)
