Melton Race 2 - Mimosa Homes 3Yo & Older Maiden Pace
PET WOLF (2) was terrific on debut when he drew on the back row and had to cover ground in the latter stages before going under by just a neck as runner-up at this venue. Open to natural improvement and is better served by this draw. CO CAPTAIN (9) missed by a nose on debut and was good again when a 3.2m second from a similar draw at Maryborough. The hoof is on the till so could go one better here. TRYX VIXEN (6) looks close to a win having made it three placings on the trot when she raced parked but kept fighting to miss by a head last week at Kilmore. Came from this barrier for third the last time she raced here three back. Could break through. FIVE CENT (4) was held up late and not too far off the placegetters last start.

Seven-year-old gelding lining up for the second time. At debut good run when 2nd (Sr2) over 2240m at this track was 3rd-3.52 at the bell, beaten a neck by Theroux (2:45.60) in MAIDEN on December 31 at $34. Strips fitter and aided by a better draw.

Broke gear last time out, so can ignore that run. Before that 9th (Sr2) over 2190m at Maryborough beaten 40 m by Ted Bear (2:44.20) in 3yo MAIDEN on November 17 at $5. Won't find a favourable position in running. Consider.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow third behind Stylistik at Kilmore over 2180m MAIDEN last start. Before that was beaten a head third at Shepparton over 2190m in 3yo MAIDEN on January 6. Can make an impact again.

Solid run when a close second after being driven well back, behind Charlenes Delight at Maryborough over 2190m in a MAIDEN on January 4 at $2. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Signature Look at Maryborough over 1690m in a 3yo MAIDEN on January 12 at $9.50. Close to a win.
