Melton Race 2 - Dynamic Print Group Pace
THESTATESMAN (2) looks close to a win after placing in three of his last four outings at this circuit and distance. Came from a much wider barrier for second to a smart one last week. The better draw gives him the chance to land a well-deserved win. GOOD TOBE LOCKSLEY (9) was back in the winners' list at this circuit and distance last week, coming from this row to score by 3m. Draws a little wider but that success was his third from his last five starts so he is going well. IDEAL BANDIT (1) is well served by the ace draw having won at this circuit and distance the last time he started from there. CLYMENUS NZ (6) has been good in coming from the back row to record a win and a placing in his last two outings here. Go well again. MY UNCLE STAN (3) improved to place last start and could be ready to peak.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 5th (Sr1) over 1650m at Bendigo, at the bell was 7th-8.44 beaten 4.5 m by To The Nines (1:57.30) on June 10 at $26. The run previous was well back in the run when 5th (Fr3) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway beaten 7 m by Message Bank (2:03.60) on June 5 at $11. Should get his chance from the ace draw.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Clymenus at this track over 2240m on June 13 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Dynamitedan at this track over 2240m on June 20 at $71. Close to a win and gets his chance from a good draw.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Fr3) over 1720m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 21 m by The Art Of Success (2:01.40) on June 20 at $81. Before that 4th (Fr6) over 1720m after showing early speed at this track was 2nd-0.42 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Keayang Wasabi (2:03.70) on May 16 at $11. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.
