Melton Race 8 - Hyland Racing Colours Pace

CAPTAIN PERFECT (6) was one of the leading Victorian three year-olds of last season, winning the Breeders Crown Final when last seen in December having earlier come from a tough draw for second in the Victoria Derby. Yet to miss a place at this circuit and distance. Readied with a nice trial and is proven fresh so could make a winning return. JILLIBY NITRO (8) found winning form when beating a handy field in last week's Geelong Cup. Draws alone on the back row and should have options from there. Big chance to go back to back. MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (7) bombed the start in the Chariots of Fire last start but did well to come from this barrier and place behind flying mare Captains Mistress in the Paleface Adios Stakes at Menangle prior. THE BRIDE (4) was racing well before tackling the Running of the Bulls last start. Two from two at this circuit and distance so could bounce back. SON OF MAC NZ (5) deserves respect off a win from the back row here last start.
