Melton Race 9 - Mimosa Homes Pace
ALLGOOD VINNIE (2) is racing well having recorded two wins and two seconds from the past five starts. Led from this draw and battled on well to go under by 1.7m last start at Ballarat. Has won at this distance before. Primary contender. HURRICANE HOOLY (9) draws on the back line again but has been racing well from there, producing two nice efforts since a win at Kilmore three starts ago. Can make an impact again. OUR BELLA LUCIA (5) is worth plenty of thought after coming from the back row and spanking her rivals in a last-start win by nearly 19 metres at this venue. OUR TRUE COLOURS (6) hasn't been far away of late and can be competitive.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Our Bella Lucia at this track over 2240m in a NR up to 45 on April 15 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Outback Queenie at Maryborough over 2190m in a NR up to 42 M on April 20 at $3.30. May prove hard to beat.
