Donald Race 1 - Pacific Fuel Solutions Mdn Plate
MELEYS (5) is in good hands. Wound up strongly to finish 1.1 lengths adrift, first-up over 1235m at Geelong. Has more to give and may be able to settle a bit closer today. Go close. ROYAL SWAY (6) was only beaten 0.8 lengths resuming from a spell over 1200m at Morphettville. Drove hard to just miss in a tight finish. That stacks right up, and she will finish hard as well. Feared. HEAVY IS THE HEAD (2) settled last in a 12-horse field and impressed at Pakenham first up, going down by just 1.4L. Just a run at Gellong following, but she will be fitter, and this is easier. Is still shy of her best, and the longer sprint will suit. Keep onside. SHINE TOGETHER (8) has been in the market both her starts and John Allen stays aboard. We can expect improvement from her.

Second-up. First start 9th of 11 at Hamilton Mdn-Sw on August 2 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 14 len behind Racetothebottom carrying 53kg at $41. Returned from break sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 9 at Kyneton Mdn-Sw on March 13 over 1459m, 5.5 len behind Yauson with 57kg at $151. Hard to get excited about her chances.

Second-up. First-up after five months 3rd of 8 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on March 22 over 1235m, 1.1 len behind Fiveminutewarning carrying 57kg at $4.20. Previously second-up 6th of 11 at Sale 3yo Mdn-Sw on October 8 over 1427m, 4.5 len behind Roulette King with 56kg at $3.30. Likely to hold the form and play a major role again.
