Melton Race 9 - Benstud Standardbreds Pace

CLYMENUS NZ (6) is racing well and has the hoof on the till after placing in his last three outings, the latest effort a second in a higher-graded race at Geelong. Draws wider but if things go his way he could find his way back into the winners' list. GOOD TOBE LOCKSLEY (7) registered another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to finish third at Geelong, just over a metre behind Clymenus. Owns a good record at this circuit and distance including a second from the back line two back. Must overcome a wide draw but a win looks imminent. HITTHEROADJACK NZ (3) hasn't been too far from the placegetters of late and should get his chance from a good draw. SOHO DARKNSTORMY (8) draws for a trail and did manage to win here two back. Respect along with ISOLATION (4) who came from this barrier for a fresh win at Geelong and usually races well when second-up.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr7) over 2100m after showing early speed at Geelong, beaten 13 m by Ata Rangi (2:31.70) on September 11 at $4. Showed ability the race before when he won by a nose after showing early speed, (Fr5) at this track (2:01.80) beating Miss Ari in on August 29 at $6. Draws for a trail and could bounce back.
