RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MISS ARI (8) was able to nail MOST EXCITING (7) in the shadows of the post here at Melton back on June 20 thanks to a wonderful Chris Alford drive and since then she’s won again at HQ in gritty style from the chair and also at Menangle when sprinting too fast to score decisively on July 18. She’s a very good mare and I’ll remain in her corner, thinking she can round up her rivals and make it four-straight triumphs. MOST EXCITING (7) is the obvious danger and likely favourite based off his outstanding form this campaign and front-line draw. Since his defeat from MISS ARI (8), he’s run third to Le Cardinal and scored a big victory back here at Melton a fortnight ago. If he can find the front – and it’s a big if given the speed underneath him – he looks hard to beat. THESTATESMAN (5) continued his good form with another strong-finishing effort for seventh – beaten just 8.8m – last weekend behind I Am The Storm and just needs luck in running to be a factor, while TWISTING BY (2) hasn’t had the draws to do much in two runs this time in, but can improve sharply from barrier two. BACK: MISS ARI (8) – 2 units (win)
