Melton Race 2 - Logical Staffing Solutions Pace

HOORAH PHILTRA (6) finished eighth last start, beaten 8 metres at this track over 2240m. Meets a comparable field so he will be hard to beat. NEATNTIDY (8) finished eleventh last start, beaten 25 metres at Swan Hill over 1750m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. MOMENTUM SHIFT (5) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 2240m. Genuine threat. ROLINGINTHEDEEP (2) must be respected after scoring last start by a neck at Cranbourne over 1609m.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing sixth after being driven well back, behind Montana Pride at Kilmore over 1690m in a 0W/15 0K stake on February 7 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind Timbimboo at this track over 2240m in a 0W/15 0K stake on February 14 at $19. With even luck is a winning chance.
