Melton Race 9 - Mimosa Homes Pace

GHOST OF TIME (7) has continued his strong form by placing in good company in his last two outings, chasing home the likes of Miki To Success and Fighter Command. This is easier and he overcame this wide barrier when he won here last month. FORTY LOVE (8) didn't have a lot go his way during his Sydney raid but had good Victorian form prior including a Hamilton Cup win and a couple of Group placings. Draws for a trail and could show his best. METEOR MOTH (5) found winning form here last week and goes well at this longer distance with three wins and two placings from six attempts so could go on with it. DESSIE GEE (2) has been competitive of late and draws lower than in recent attempts.

Didn't do much at the last run, 10th (Sr4) over 2240m at this track, at the bell was 10th-12.97 beaten 17 m by Soho Darknstormy (2:40.60) in NR 70 to 79 on March 21 at $34. Before that was well back in the run when 7th (Fr4) over 2240m at this track, at the bell was 7th-13.18 beaten 10 m by Isthisjustfantasy (2:43.20) in NR 75 to 88 on March 7 at $9. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 2570m at Charlton, beaten 40 m by Miki To Success (3:03.00) in No NR on March 15 at $41. Two runs back won by 2 m (Sr3) at Birchip (2:38.00) beating Komodo in 4yo+ NR up to 90 on March 8 at $5.50 at the bell was leading 3.1. Not keen on his chances in this field.
