Race comment
OVERVIEW: Two-million-dollar pacer CATCH A WAVE (9) was just too far back last weekend when first-up in a race that just didn’t suit backmarkers whatsoever. He still unleashed a big finale to run fourth, but was never a winning factor when Sir Jimmy found the lead and controlled the tempo. If there’s some speed up top this time, he will be storming late and looks a good each-way bet in early markets. He’s very hard to catch, but his best is scintillating and he’s set to go around at a backable quote. SOME AMERICAN (2) has led and won two of his three starts this campaign, and looks the likely early leader again here. He was perhaps a little plain late despite prevailing last time at Melton, but he’s the obvious given his gate speed, good draw and likely position in running. GOOD TOBE LOCKSLEY (1) looks well and truly capable of being competitive in this grade from barrier one, with his last two starts resulting in impressive wins in easier grade, while JACKS ULTIMATE FURY (3) hasn’t had much luck in recent Melton starts and can improve on his figure form with a better trip.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Two-million-dollar pacer CATCH A WAVE (9) was just too far back last weekend when first-up in a race that just didn’t suit backmarkers whatsoever. He still unleashed a big finale to run fourth, but was never a winning factor when Sir Jimmy found the lead and controlled the tempo. If there’s some speed up top this time, he will be storming late and looks a good each-way bet in early markets. He’s very hard to catch, but his best is scintillating and he’s set to go around at a backable quote. SOME AMERICAN (2) has led and won two of his three starts this campaign, and looks the likely early leader again here. He was perhaps a little plain late despite prevailing last time at Melton, but he’s the obvious given his gate speed, good draw and likely position in running. GOOD TOBE LOCKSLEY (1) looks well and truly capable of being competitive in this grade from barrier one, with his last two starts resulting in impressive wins in easier grade, while JACKS ULTIMATE FURY (3) hasn’t had much luck in recent Melton starts and can improve on his figure form with a better trip.

OVERVIEW: Two-million-dollar pacer CATCH A WAVE (9) was just too far back last weekend when first-up in a race that just didn’t suit backmarkers whatsoever. He still unleashed a big finale to run fourth, but was never a winning factor when Sir Jimmy found the lead and controlled the tempo. If there’s some speed up top this time, he will be storming late and looks a good each-way bet in early markets. He’s very hard to catch, but his best is scintillating and he’s set to go around at a backable quote. SOME AMERICAN (2) has led and won two of his three starts this campaign, and looks the likely early leader again here. He was perhaps a little plain late despite prevailing last time at Melton, but he’s the obvious given his gate speed, good draw and likely position in running. GOOD TOBE LOCKSLEY (1) looks well and truly capable of being competitive in this grade from barrier one, with his last two starts resulting in impressive wins in easier grade, while JACKS ULTIMATE FURY (3) hasn’t had much luck in recent Melton starts and can improve on his figure form with a better trip.
