Melton Race 8 - Irt Pace

SHAZZA LOVE (5) went back last start then sustained a long run to finish just 5 metres from the winner in third at Ballarat last week, adding to her good form of late. She was brave from the back row at this venue prior. Looks to be in the right race to return to the winners' list. KYORETSU (2) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when he came from the back row and finished only 2 metres from the winner in second at Ballarat. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw so could go one better. WOODLEA DIEGO NZ (4) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 1.1 metres from this barrier at this circuit and distance, giving him two wins and two placings from his last five attempts. AVEIRO (7) draws wide but must be respected after scoring last start by 3.4 metres at this circuit and distance.

Didn't do much at the last run, was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at Cranbourne was 6th-12.4 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Master Louey (1:58.90) in 0-3 WINs on April 19 at $6.50. Before that 9th (Sr2) over 2180m at Kilmore, beaten 20 m by Really Smartie (2:42.30) in NR up to 51 on February 26 at $26. Will need improvement to figure.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fifth behind Janiebquick at Kilmore over 1690m in a NR 45 to 48 on April 2 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind Huxham Chubb at Ballarat over 2200m in a NR up to 49 on April 23 at $6.50. Big chance from a good draw.
