Melton Race 1 - Congrats Hall Of Fame Mahar Family Pace

ZENARIO (6) finished second last start over 2240m at this track, beaten 8 metres, after also filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 2240m here. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. MISS ARI (3) won at Menangle two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at her latest appearance over 2240m at this circuit, beaten 9 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position and a return to winning form is not out of the question. WORDS NZ (10) is in the mix following a respectable third at her most recent appearance over 1720m at this venue. Top-three candidate. SOHO DARKNSTORMY (5) next best with Gath on board.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 1720m, 7 days ago and two back was well back in the run when 5th (Fr4) over 1720m at this track, beaten 23 m by Fairplay (2:00.50) on August 15 at $41. Hard to have on those efforts.

Two back was fifth behind Fairplay at this track over 1720m on August 1 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind The Steel Dragon at this track over 2240m on August 8 at $19. Progressing well. Rates highly and worth including.
