Melton Race 7 - Nevele R Stud Pace
LOWRIDER (9) started hot favourite last start but a poor start proved costly. He looks very well placed in this line-up and is proven at this circuit and distance. Just need his manners and he'll be tough to stop. BULLETPROOF KID (6) worked forward from a similar barrier to find the lead and kept kicking only to be edged out last start at this venue. That was his third placing on the trot so a win could be imminent. KING BALDWIN (7) enjoys a class drop after tackling some smart three-year-olds last week. Draws wide but was a Ballarat winner three back in his lone try at this distance range. OWEN THE SAINTS (3) draws well and is worth including after his last-start fifth from the back line.

Finished sixth at his last two starts since resuming from a spell. Last outing was beaten 5.5 metres behind Sriracha at this track over 2240m on October 31. May improve aided by the inside draw.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr7) over 2240m at this track was 9th-14.89 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Sriracha (2:45.50) on October 31 at $126. Before that 6th (Fr1) over 1690m at Kilmore, beaten 45 m by Refusal (2:00.20) on October 27 at $81. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Mixing form recently. Last start was 3rd (Fr4) over 1780m after showing early speed at Mt Gambier, beaten 30 m by Ynobe Nova (2:10.70) on October 30 at $2.80. Before that beaten 155 metres, eighth at Hamilton over 1660m on October 26. Tougher here.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Secret Service Agent at this track over 1720m on October 23 at $26. Then a handy effort when a close third after a quick start, behind Sriracha at this track over 2240m on October 31 at $12. Can make his presence felt again.

Won three starts back at Ballarat over 1710m on October 1. Last time out was well back in the run when 9th (Fr3) over 2240m at this track beaten 65 m by Enjoy Life (2:40.90) in 3yo on October 31 at $61. Better placed and can play a role.

Bombed the start last time when 9th (Fr6) over 2240m at this track was 8th-10.96 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Sriracha (2:45.50) on October 31 at $1.06. At the previous start 7th (Sr3) over 2760m at this track was 8th-11.27 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Brooklyn Dan (3:20.90) in 3yo on October 10 at $34. Well up to winning this so just needs to get it right.
