Melton Race 1 - Lamaros Hotel Pace

BROWNIESATMIDNIGHT (8) was disappointing last start when seventh over 2180m at Kilmore after a nice fourth at Cranbourne the run prior. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. KOMODO (4) has been about the mark consistently and again performed admirably at the most recent appearance, making up plenty of ground but finding a couple better over 2200m at Ballarat. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. TRIPLE ROCK SAINT NZ (3) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 2240m at this track a week ago. TIMBIMBOO NZ (11) is also in contention although the draw makes his job a bit tougher.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Hot Deal at Swan Hill over 1750m in a NR 65 or better on January 13 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.4 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Big Sledge Hammer at Ballarat over 2200m in a NR 60 to 69 on January 24 at $7. Sure to be right there at the business end.

Likely improver who is worth including.
