RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Fast class pace to start AFL Grand Final night at Melton where I’m tipping FIGHTER COMMAND (8) on top from inside the back row. He was huge winning two starts back in a race six of these horses clashed in and was so brave trapped parked in a sizzling free-for-all back here at Melton won by SMOKEN ACE (9) on September 12. He did a great job to only be beaten 5.1m as a $1.55 favourite and I think he draws to trail the likely leader METEOR MOTH (1). Jason Lee has options, but if he’s leader’s back, I fancy he will be too slick in the lane. METEOR MOTH (1) is a talented pacer from the Emma Stewart stable who gets the draw to be really competitive and did a great job to only be beaten 3.7m by Catch A Wave last weekend from the chair, FORTY LOVE (5) ran a cracker from the breeze when fourth to TRIPLE EIGHT (10) before competing well through the Vicbred Super Series, while SMOKEN ACE (9) must be respected after beating six of these rivals from three back the fence here on September 12 and draws for a good trip. UBETCHA TIGERPIE (11), MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (12) and SIR JIMMY (13) are the other key runners in a tricky start to the card.
