Melton Race 5 - Benstud Standardbreds Pace

ISTHISJUSTFANTASY (7) settled back from a second line draw here last time and worked home strongly to miss by just a head. Had been tackling the good mares prior, her best result a third in the G3 Make Mine Cullen. Draws wide but her hoof is on the till and she looks well placed. HES NO ROMEO NZ (1) hasn't been far from the placegetters when starting from this same barrier in his last two outings. Steps up to a distance where his record is sound. Could challenge. ATA RANGI (5) is worth thought after coming from a similar barrier for a last-start win win the Ararat Cup, his second success from his last three outings. TRIPLE ROCK SAINT NZ (2) deserves respect having come from a similar draw to win the last time he raced here two back.
