Melton Race 1 - Alabar Pace

BLAKE BOLAC (7) has been racing well since missing by just a head at this circuit three back, following it up with a win from this barrier at Swan Hill and a placing last time at Geelong. Steps up to a distance where he has won five of eight attempts. Top chance. SKINNYDIP (12) resumes off some decent form including a win at this venue three back. Has won fresh before and should be ready to go having placed in two recent trials. SPIRIT OF ARION (11) only went under by a head at Geelong last start and has won both visits to this circuit, the latest three back when he came from this same barrier. LOUIE LOU I (4) put the writing on the wall when he drew the back row and missed by just a nose last start at Bendigo.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following September 9 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a head (Sr2) at this track (2:42.20) beating Stag Party in NR 60 to 69 on September 21 at $10 at the bell was 8th-12.57. This race will be harder than that win. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing seventh behind Layden at Kilmore over 2180m in a NR 70 to 79 on September 27 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Courageous Saint at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR 60 to 74 on October 9 at $1.90. With further improvement can go one better.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fifth behind Layden at Kilmore over 2180m in a NR 70 to 79 on September 27 at $6. Then a handy effort when a close third after being driven well back, behind Dhaulagiri at Geelong over 1609m in a NR 70 to 79 on October 4 at $3.70. Unbeaten here and could add another win to the record.
