Melton Race 5 - Nutrien Equine Pace

ZENARIO (5) added to his recent string of strong performances last time out when runner-up over 2240m at this track, beaten 3 metres. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating once more. OLLIES THE BOSS (1) finished second here two runs ago before finishing second at his latest appearance over 2190m at Shepparton, beaten 6 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. PESCI (7) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 2240m at this circuit a week ago. Can trouble the judge again. SPRINGFIELD AFFAIR (3) must be respected after scoring last start by 10 metres at Cranbourne over 2080m. Hard to knock winning form.

Solid performance when a close second after a quick start, behind Sweet Irish Loch at this track over 2240m on July 11 at $2.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind King Saint at Shepparton over 2190m on July 28 at $1.60. Has a low draw and will go well again.

Resumes. At the latest first-up run was well back in the run when 2nd (Fr5) over 2190m at Mt Gambier beaten 3 m by Miki Steamed Home (2:43.30) on May 27 2025 at $2.90. Recent trials will help bring her on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.

Last start 6th (Sr4) over 1720m at this track was 11th-15.77 at the bell, beaten 8 m by I Am The Storm (2:) on August 1 at $151.

Improved last start with a game effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr7) over 2240m at this track, at the bell was 2nd-2.9 beaten 3 m by Good Tobe Locksley (2:42.40) on June 13 at $1.95. Course and distance record is strong so the good form should carry on.

Two back was sixth behind Cigano at this track over 1720m on June 13 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Hittheroadjack at this track over 2240m on July 31 at $4.33. Should be there at the business end.
