Melton Race 2 - Mimosa Homes Free For All

YAMBUKIAN (7) continued his impressive run of recent efforts last start when runner-up over 1720m at this track, beaten a nose. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go right on with the job. KEAYANG TOKYO (2) has raced two times this prep and has filled a minor placing on each occasion. Produced yet another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1720m at this track, adding to a string of recent minor placings. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a comparable field and he can grab that well-deserved win. OLIVER DAN (3) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1720m at this track. TRIPLE EIGHT (4) is worth some thought based on his third over 1720m at this track two runs ago.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Bay Of Biscay at this track over 1720m in a No NR on June 28 at $16. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Sahara Breeze at this track over 1720m in a No NR on August 2 at $5.50. Sure to play a major role.
