Melton Race 7 - Logical Staffing Solutions Pace
ALLGOOD VINNIE (11) continued his good form with a last-start third at Bendigo, his fifth successive placing since coming from this row to score at Kilmore. If things go his way he could be back in the winners' list. ALCATRAZ GIRL (2) drew wide on the back row and worked but stuck on well for third at Shepparton last start. Won from wider than this at Bendigo prior. Should get her chance from the good draw. ELLEEGANT LANE (1) was far from disgraced when midfield from a tough barrier last start. Won the last time she drew on the pegs so is much better served here. MUFASA BART (7) cops a wide draw for his return but has been trialling well and should be ready to fire.

Recent form below what she is capable of. Last start 6th (Sr5) over 1690m at Kilmore, beaten 6 m by Treacheroustimes (2:04.00) in NR up to 45 on May 7 at $9. The run prior 7th (Fr3) over 1720m at this track was 9th-14.65 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Aveiro (2:05.60) in NR up to 47 on April 24 at $19. Can be more competitive from this draw.

Looks well placed in this tougher race, but she was impressive winning two starts back [-+] posted a big 3.5 m win as favourite (Fr4) at Bendigo (2:02.50) beating Kimchi in NR up to 42 on April 22 at $2.90 at the bell was leading 4.04. Expected to go well from a low draw.

Solid performance when beaten by 2 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Kimchi at Ballarat over 1710m in a NR up to 45 on April 30 at $5. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Outa The Blue at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR up to 44 on May 6 at $2.15. With even luck from the tough draw he could break through.
