Melton Race 5 - Garards Horse And Hound Pace

OUR BELLA LUCIA (1) was out of the money when well in the betting last start but she did have a much wider barrier. Impressive when she came from the back row to cruise home at this circuit and distance prior. The ace draw can see her back in the winners' stall. SHIRALEE (5) continued her good form when third here last week, her third placing in four starts since a Kilmore win. Major player. GLENLINE (6) draws wider but is in the mix having added to his consistent form when beaten 2.3m into fourth at his most recent appearance here. PRECIOUS BELLE NZ (3) draw lower than when beaten 4.5m here last week and was a Ballarat winner prior. Go well.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Highview Hammer at Maryborough over 1690m in a NR up to 45 on April 20 at $1.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Woodlea Diego at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 47 on April 24 at $2.15. Should be in the finish again.

Likely improver who is worth including.
