Melton Race 9 - Centre State Printing Maiden Pace

LOVE A BELLE (2) made mistakes last time but had looked close to a win when runner-up at her first two starts after a spell. Race fit and should have no excuses from this advantageous draw. Big chance if she behaves. MAXY BOMBER (7) comes through the Home Grown Classic series but was runner-up the last time he attempted a maiden so is much better placed here. DANCIN WITH LUSH (6) produced an improved performance when second up at her latest appearance, finishing third at Cobram. Open to further progression so has claims. ONLY SON (3) draws better than in recent outings so can show more.

Last start was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Attagirl at Cranbourne over 1609m in a MAIDEN on December 22 at $9. Raced better the start before that with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 1790m after showing early pace at Warragul, at the bell was 3rd-4 beaten 12 m by Ollies The Boss (2:08.30) in MAIDEN on December 9 at $5. Rates highly. Can make amends.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind Vincent Grange at Charlton over 1609m in a 3yo MAIDEN on December 18 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Sassy Gabby at Cobram over 1670m in a 3yo MAIDEN on December 29 at $4.80. Chance to find the winners' list.

Comes here second-up after a week-and-a-half. Lacklustre first-up performance when surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr6) over 1609m after showing early speed at Cranbourne was 3rd-4.6m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 15 m by Attagirl (1:59.10) in MAIDEN on December 22 at $101. Not keen on her chances in this field.
