Melton Race 5 - Breeders Crown 3yo Noms Now Open Pace
DYNAMITEDAN (2) made a winning return to the track at his latest appearance at this circuit and distance, leading from this barrier and scoring by 6 metres. Stepping up a level this time but he is fitter for that last hit-out and should push forward again so looks tough to beat. LUVTOBEUPTOME (3) made an impressive return last start when he fought well for a win at this circuit and distance, getting home by a head. Showed his ability when twice placed at Group 2 level last season. Draws well so can certainly make it two on the bounce. KOMODO (8) draws for a trail and could be close to another win after back-to-back placings here. HUGO ROCKS (1) will be fitter for the resuming second from a wider draw and should get a soft run from the ace draw.

Second-up here following a spell. Solid effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr5) over 2240m at this track beaten 8 m by Clymenus (2:39.10) on June 13 at $51. Fitter and should run well from this draw.

Last preparation only had 2 starts before going for a break. Returned to racing with a handy win a big 6 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (2:42.90) beating Keayang Sweetheart in on June 6 at $1.40 at the bell was leading 0.41. Strips fitter and is a top winning chance again.

Two runs back posted a big 17 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at this track (2:40.40) beating Sea Fury in on May 29 at $1.75 at the bell was leading 6.56. With even luck he can be there at the business end.

Good performance when beaten by 4 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Maxnjax at this track over 1720m on May 30 at $9. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind The Art Of Success at this track over 2240m on June 6 at $26. Could be close to another win.
