Melton Race 5 - Nevele R Stud Free For All Pace

There was plenty to like about the latest performance of JACKS ULTIMATE FURY NZ (6) when he raced parked before drawing away to score by 5m at Menangle. Progressive pacer who loves this distance range, winning nine of 13 attempts. Big chance again. MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (5) continues to race well, racing outside the leader but fighting on well to go under by only 2.8m here last time. Has a decent record at this shorter distance. Could return to the winners' list. HES FROM HEAVEN NZ (4) drew wide and chased boom youngster Hollywood Strip when midfield at Wagga last start. Placed in his other two outings of this campaign and is race fit now. Draws inside his main rivals so should get his chance. CALEXICO (7) placed from this barrier here last week and has won six of 11 attempts at this shorter distance. Each way player.

Last start was well beaten into fifth behind Hollywood Strip at Riverina Paceway over 1740m on June 12 at $9. Raced better the start before that with a good run when 3rd (Fr4) over 2690m at Maryborough, beaten 4 m by Bay Of Biscay (3:21.30) on May 31 at $10. Race fit now and is capable of playing a major role.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fourth behind Sweet Ideal at this track over 1720m on June 13 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Fox Dan at this track over 2240m on June 20 at $41. Progressing well. Can make his presence felt.

Last start was well beaten after breaking at this track on June 20. At the start before solid effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 2240m at this track, at the bell was 5th-7.88 beaten 6 m by Oliver Dan (2:39.30) on June 6 at $101. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Consider.
