Melton Race 4

Garrards Horse & Hound Pace

Prize Money: $15,000

EXOTIC BUSHRANGER (3) continues to race well with a string of wins and placings. Maintained an unbeaten record at this circuit and distance when scoring two back then took on a higher-graded race when placed last time. Strong claims from a low draw. CLASSIC MISSION (8) hasn't raced for eight weeks but has been kept up to the mark with a trial. Placed in two of his last three starts to follow a string of wins at this circuit. Draws for a trail. Big chance. YOUNGGIFTEDANDBLACK (1) gets the ace draw and is in the mix after placing from a wider barrier last time. MAJOR MANBAR (4) has been solid so far this campaign and races well third up so could peak.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing eighth after showing early speed, behind Carrera Sunset at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 75 M on June 15 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Fighter Command at this track over 2240m in a NR up to 75 on June 27 at $8.50. Go well from the inside draw.

Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (Fr7) over 1710m after showing early speed at Ballarat was 4th-5.8m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 18 m by Gawn (2:00.90) in NR 70 to 79 on June 28 at $61. Before that surrendered the lead and finished 4th (Fr1) over 1720m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 3rd-3.78 beaten 5 m by Final Collect (2:03.00) in NR 80 to 89 on June 15 at $6.50.

Didn't do much at the last run, was restrained when 6th (Fr6) over 1710m at Ballarat was 10th-17.2m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 14 m by Gawn (2:00.90) in NR 70 to 79 on June 28 at $51. Before that 6th (Fr1) over 1720m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was 3rd-6.8 beaten 16 m by Vanquish Stride (2:01.50) in NR 80 to 89 on June 15 at $26. Can't recommend.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
