Melton Race 6 - Hip Pocket Castlemaine Pace
GHOST OF TIME (8) has won three in a row at this circuit, two of them on this side of a spell. Did some work to find the front before scoring by 5.6m last week. Draws for a trail so can add to the winning sequence. TIGER BAND WAGON (9) continues to race well having only once missed a place in the last six outings. Continues a run of second row draws but was only 1.2m away as runner-up last week. Contender. RAKERO SLAMMER (6) has produced some nice recent efforts here, placing from the back row last week and clocking in third from a similar barrier to this last month. ROCKNROLL WALLA (5) has been runner-up in both outings since winning here, the latest from this same draw. Go well again.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 3rd (Fr3) over 2630m after showing early speed at Gunbower was leading by 4.6 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Western Sonador (3:12.40) in NR 70 to 95 on December 8 at $17. Before that beaten 17 metres, fifth at Menangle over 1609m NR up to 75 on November 30. Prefer others.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr2) over 1720m at this track was 7th-12.08 at the bell, beaten 15 m by Ghost Of Time (2:01.00) in NR 80 to 89 on November 30 at $4.80. Showed ability the outing before when he won by a head after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (1:59.90) beating The Bigboss in NR 70 to 79 on November 23 at $12. Drawn favourably and worth another chance.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Young Bluey at this track over 2240m in a NR 80 to 89 on November 23 at $23. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Ghost Of Time at this track over 2240m in a NR 80 to 89 on December 7 at $11. Can be about the money again.

Two back was well beaten into tenth after being driven well back, behind Ghost Of Time at this track over 1720m in a NR 80 to 89 on November 30 at $16. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Ghost Of Time at this track over 2240m in a NR 80 to 89 on December 7 at $11. Gets his chance to break through.
