Melton Race 5 - Australian Pacing Gold 3yo Pace

TACTICALLY PERFECT NZ (2) went straight to the paddock after kicking off her career with an impressive win at Charlton in December when she overcame a second row draw to cruise home by 12m. Likely to have developed further with maturity and she was readied with a trial placing. A good draw could see her make a winning return. COLOSIMO (3) continues to race well, putting together a string of top-four finishes since breaking his maiden from this barrier at Maryborough. Has come from the back row to miss by narrow margins in the last two outings. A better draw could see him atone. SHIFFRIN (1) is ticking along well having placed twice in her last three outings, both from second line draws. Should enjoy the favours from the inside barrier. HILTONS SPIRIT (5) has been good so far this time in, winning fresh at Kilmore and recording a 1.2m third from the back line last time at Melton. Go well again.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Sportsbou at Ballarat over 2200m on May 14 at $2.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second behind Talkbabytalk at Geelong over 1609m on June 5 at $3.80. Player from the ace draw.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won by a head as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at this track (2:04.80) beating Sweetheart Dior in 3yo on May 29 at $1.55 at the bell was leading 2.07. Another big run would not surprise.
