Melton Race 8 - Waste Sense Pace

HITTHEROADJACK NZ (7) found winning form two back at this circuit and distance then led and stuck on well for third last start at Geelong. May need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position but he is going well. NEATNTIDY (4) came from this barrier and scored when returning from a layoff last time out at Mildura. Has clearly come back in good order so could go on with it. BIZZNESS CLASS (3) has had a series of back row draws, placing here last week. Won at Mildura the last time he started on the front row so looks better served by this barrier. TIMBIMBOO NZ (2) came from wider in finishing fourth first-up here last time out. Has won second-up before so can improve aided by a good draw.
