Melton Race 2

Nutrien Equine Free For All Trot

Prize Money: $22,500

LOVEMETO NZ (9) continued a strong run of form when he raced parked but proved too good by 7 metres here a fortnight ago, giving him two wins and two placings from his last four starts. Draws on the back row this time but came from this barrier when scoring easily here last month. Take beating. REMUS PHOENIX (5) was runner-up to Lovemeto last time but got the better of him when scoring by a neck two back at this circuit and distance. With that rival drawn on the back row tonight he is a chance to beat him again. IM BOBBY (8) led and faded when resuming but he is much better than that and generally improves into his campaigns having yet to salute when fresh but won twice when second-up. Draws for a trail so looking for better. PINNIE (1) has a decent record at this shorter distance and draws to be competitive and does ALDEBARAN ACRUX (2) who has been solid at her last couple including a Group 1 placing in Sydney.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 2240m at this track was 7th-17.68 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Lovemeto (2:42.20) on May 16 at $61. At the run before 8th (Fr3) over 1720m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track beaten 24 m by Remus Phoenix (2:03.50) on May 2 at $23. Draws the pegs so expect her to be competitive.

Eight-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 3rd (Fr3) over 2240m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 3rd-7.6 beaten 12 m by Lovemeto (2:42.20) on May 16 at $21. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into fifth behind Remus Phoenix at this track over 1720m on May 2 at $81. Place best.

Last start game effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr6) over 2240m at this track, at the bell was 5th-9.94 beaten 7 m by Lovemeto (2:42.20) on May 16 at $7.50. Two runs back won by a neck (Fr4) at this track (2:03.50) beating Lovemeto in on May 2 at $3.70. In form and may prove hard to beat.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Sr2) over 2240m at this track, beaten 30 m by Lovemeto (2:42.20) on May 16 at $26. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 2.25 m when driven back in the field, (Fr7) held up early, at this track (2:46.70) beating Hilltop Hugh in on May 2 at $7. Could bounce back.

Last start 6th (Fr1) over 2240m after showing early speed at this track was 2nd-1.93 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Lovemeto (2:42.20) on May 16 at $2.90. Two runs back was well back in the run when 6th (Fr9) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 30 m by Keayang Zahara (1:51.50) in G1 on March 14 at $81. Likely improver with that run under the belt.

Comments

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start was driven from back in the field when 2nd (Fr5) over 2240m at this track was 6th-13.98 at the bell, beaten 4 m by Stockman Peter (2:46.70) on May 16 at $4.80. Before that was driven from back in the field when 3rd (Fr5) over 2240m after being wide early at this track, beaten 4.5 m by Quirky Character (2:46.70) on May 2 at $13. Not easy from this draw.
