Melton Race 1 - Vicbred Voucher Nmw Pace
MOUNT BARKER BOY (10) enjoys a big class drop off the Vicbred Super Series 3CG Final having finished runner-up in both a heat and a semi-final of that series. Well placed so just need even luck from the back row. THESTATESMAN (1) is better than the recent form may suggest. Well served by the ace draw so expecting big improvement. MITZI SAID (6) produced a good effort last time out when runner-up at this circuit and distance. Should run another big race. NEW YORKER (4) draws wider than when he placed here last week but should be hitting peak fitness now.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing ninth after being driven well back, behind Novanta Rising at Riverina Paceway over 2270m on August 21 at $31. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Jaccka Evan at Kilmore over 1690m on September 17 at $21. Can make his presence felt.

Last start was well beaten into twelfth behind Enjoy Life at this track over 2240m in a 3yo G1 on September 12 at $71. Raced better the start before that with a good run when 2nd (Sr5) over 2240m at this track, at the bell was 9th-17.84 beaten 3.5 m by Le Cardinal (2:39.40) in 3yo on September 5 at $101. Big class drop so can return to the winners' list.
