Melton Race 4 - Nevele R Stud Pace

LENARD ESS (6) found winning form last week when he worked home in good style to score by 5 metres at Geelong. Recorded back-to-back wins at this circuit back in August, one of them over this distance and the other from a back row draw. Could deliver again. MISTER AMERICANO (5) recorded a midfield result when resuming in a higher-graded race at Cranbourne five days ago. Draws wider but will be fitter and this is easier. LE GASTON (4) hasn't featured in his last two outings here but can do better having kicked off his campaign with back-to-back wins from this row last month. KOSIMO (8) draws for a trail and will enjoy a drop in grade.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr4) over 2240m at this track was 8th-12.82 at the bell, beaten 18 m by Sandelton (2:44.30) in 3yo on October 9 at $17. The run previous 9th (Sr3) over 2240m at this track, at the bell was 5th-4.89 beaten 10 m by Blazin By (2:44.80) on September 25 at $6.50. Could bounce back to winning form.
