Melton Race 1 - Logical Staffing Solutions Pace

ALWAYS BE BLAKEY (11) finished eighth last start over 1609m at Geelong, beaten 21 metres, after a good second at Hamilton the run prior. Hard to know where he gets from this slightly awkward draw. Meets a comparable field and he can make amends. HITTHEROADJACK (9) was successful at his most recent outing by 9 metres in a nice return to form at Kilmore over 1690m. Finds a tougher race, but he has the ability to make it two on the trot. RUEBE STARBUCK (4) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at Geelong last time out. GUNFORHIRE (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a head at Geelong over 1609m. Include in all combinations.

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at Geelong, beaten 7 m by Dance Affair (1:55.30) in NR 56 to 64 on May 30 at $16. Before that 5th (Fr1) over 1720m at this track beaten 12 m by Emily Vincent (2:01.70) in NR 60 to 69 on May 23 at $71. Others make more appeal.

Comes here second-up after only six days break. Lacklustre first-up performance when 8th (Fr1) over 1720m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 30 m by Sweet Ideal (2:03.20) in NR 57 to 67 on May 31 at $71. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Showed ability the outing before when she won by a neck (Sr1) at Cranbourne (2:30.60) beating Grayson Red in 0-1 WIN on May 4 at $8.50 at the bell was 6th-9.25. Can play a role in the finish.
