Melton Race 2 - Mimosa Homes Free For All

MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (3) relished a class drop at his latest appearance here, leading from a wider barrier and scoring by 5 metres. His confidence will be high and he has the speed to take advantage of the good draw so could strike again. BULLETPROOF BOY (7) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling when 4.6 metres from the winner in third last week. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw but the last time he started on the front row he was fifth in the Victoria Cup and he won the Smoken Up Sprint at this circuit and distance prior. FOX DAN (5) was good in finishing runner-up after working at Swan Hill last time out and won a Vicbred final here prior. YAMBUKIAN (2) was good in his last-start fourth, his first outing for 14 months. Fitter for that and draws well.

Solid run when beaten by 2.25 m finishing fifth behind Jilliby Nitro at Geelong over 2570m on October 3 at $8. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Fairplay at this track over 1720m on October 31 at $6.50. Rates highly. Has to be included.
