Melton Race 6

Hyland Racing Colours Pace

Prize Money: $10,000

MY LITTLE BO (7) progressed off a fresh fourth for a good second last start, beaten 2.3 metres at this venue. May need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position but is ideally placed and has won when third-up before so looks ready to peak. TWISTING BY NZ (6) was first up for two months when fourth last start at this venue. That was an encouraging effort and while drawn wider he should be improved. MIGHTY JOLT (4) hasn't done a bad job for fourth in his two outings since winning at this circuit and distance, the latest from the back line. EARL OF PEMBROKE NZ (5) has claims off a win from a similar barrier here three back.

Promising type show didn't do much at the end of his last preparation. Fair return to racing first up was well back in the run when 4th (Fr3) over 2240m at this track was 6th-13.66 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Seathestars (2:40.70) on October 24 at $8. Will come on from that run and is a strong top-three hope.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after showing early speed, behind Jaccka Evan at this track over 2240m on October 17 at $23. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Seathestars at this track over 2240m on October 24 at $6.50. Ready to win.
