Melton Race 3

Hip Pocket Castlemaine Pace

Prize Money: $10,000

SOHO DARKNSTORMY (5) led from one spot wider and fought on well to be beaten just over a metre into second at this circuit and distance last time out. The only time he has missed the top-two this time in was when he tackled Group 3 company. Looks well placed. HUGO ROCKS (3) drew a wide gate last start so was far from disgraced when midfield. Came from this barrier when he placed three back at Bendigo. Good enough to make his presence felt. IN AN IDEAL WORLD (2) came from the back row to be beaten 2.7m into fourth when resuming here last week. Draws well and should strip fitter so deserves consideration. SON OF MAC NZ (8) has never missed a place in four third-up attempts including two wins and owns strong statistics at this circuit and distance so can show more.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr7) over 2240m at this track was 10th-16.99 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Spirit Of Anarchy (2:43.50) in NR 56 to 64 on March 6 at $5.50. The run previous was well back in the run when 10th (Fr4) over 2240m at this track beaten 24 m by Always Be Blakey (2:41.90) in NR up to 80 on February 21 at $51. Drawn well this time and expected to finish closer.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after a quick start, behind Hesitate at this track over 1720m in a 4yo G3 No NR on February 14 at $101. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.1 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Always Be Blakey at this track over 2240m in a NR up to 80 on February 21 at $4. Take beating.
