Melton Race 1 - Catanach's Jewellers Pace
BEARHUNTA (10) kicked off his career with a win two-and-a-half weeks ago, racing parked before getting home by 7 metres at Shepparton. Tougher draw but has upside so with even luck he is capable of getting the job done again. CALEXICO (9) has not raced for four months but looks forward enough for the return after winning a recent trial. Won over this distance the only time he was fresh. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. OZZIE JOYBELL (4) has been coming from the back row of late, including when runner-up two back at Bendigo. Will enjoy this favourable draw. WRITTENINTHESKY (7) finished runner-up when resuming at Geelong last time out. Draws wider but has won second-up before so can progress.
