Melton Race 9 - The Big Screen Company Nmw Pace
HANDLER (2) made it two wins from his last three outings two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 2.5 metres over 1690m at Maryborough. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. ALL BLAZING GUNS (1) led last start and was successful at Horsham over 1700m, getting home by 2.5 metres. That followed an encouraging minor placing at Terang the start prior. Has the benefit of a good draw. Steps up a level but he is capable of running another big race. MY LITTLE BO (9) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at Geelong over 1609m. FOXY TWO GLOVES (10) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Horsham over 1700m.

Two back was well beaten into tenth behind Ruby Rules at Menangle over 2300m in a 3yo No NR F on May 3 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third behind Dance Affair at Geelong over 1609m in a NR 56 to 64 on May 30 at $4. Can win with even luck.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Le Spartacus at Mildura over 1790m in a NR 50 to 55 on May 16 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind All Blazing Guns at Horsham over 1700m in a NR 55 to 64 on May 28 at $12. Heading the right way and is a leading player.
