Melton Race 6 - Garrards Horse & Hound Pace

MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (5) was well in the market when midfield here last time but did come from a second row barrier and had taken on some handy three-year-olds in the Gold Chalice series prior. Owns a strong record at this distance with four wins and two placings form nine attempts. His best form would win this. HUGO ROCKS (9) could be close to a win after placing in three of his last five outings at this circuit, last time coming from this barrier to be beaten just over a metre into second. Could break through. HEZ ALL ROCK (4) draws a couple of spots lower than last time when he raced parked but stuck on to place. The ace draw brings ALWAYS THE SHOWMAN (1) into contention while TRIPLE ROCK SAINT NZ (7) could feature with a touch of luck from his wide barrier.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after showing early speed, behind Sweetpassion at Ararat over 2195m in a NR 60 to 80 on April 6 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Golden Tribe at this track over 1720m in a NR 60 to 69 on April 12 at $41. Heading the right way and is a leading player.

Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr4) over 2240m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track was 10th-17.97 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Chasing Rex (2:42.10) in NR 60 to 69 on April 19 at $8. At his previous start was driven from back in the field when 10th (Sr6) over 1720m after being wide early at this track, beaten 22 m by Golden Tribe (2:01.80) in NR 60 to 69 on April 12 at $18.
