Melton Race 2

Hip Pocket Castlemaine Free For All

Stake: $24,750

YOUNG BLUEY (1) takes a step up in grade but he is in terrific form, scoring here last week to record his third success from his last four outings. Set a new track record with a dominant victory two back at St Arnaud. The inside draw gives him the chance to take the next step. TRIPLE EIGHT (10) will enjoy a class drop after drawing wide in the G2 Caduceus Classic two back. Won his previous two outings here, one from a similar draw to this so must rate highly. SERG BLANCO (8) beat Triple Eight home when midfield in the Caduceus Classic and had looked close to a win when placed in his previous two outings. Draws for a trail so could be dangerous. BULLETPROOF BOY (9) has claims off a win from this row here two back.

Four-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track and St Arnaud. Last start won by 8 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at this track (2:41.60) beating Rocknroll Walla in NR 80 to 89 on November 23 at $1.35. Up in grade but the draw could see him continue his winning ways.

Two back was well beaten into tenth behind Bulletproof Boy at this track over 2240m in a No NR on November 9 at $61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Daylight At Dawn at Mildura over 1790m in a NR 65 on November 15 at $4.60. Exotic chance.

Last start 3rd (Fr4) over 2190m after showing early speed at Mildura, beaten 9 m by Ideal Escape (2:38.40) in NR 65 on November 22 at $1.65. Two runs back 8th (Sr3) over 2240m at this track beaten 24 m by Bulletproof Boy (2:36.30) in No NR on November 9 at $151. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Seven-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. Won by a neck (Sr1) at Mildura (2:38.40) beating Imperials Reason in NR 65 on November 22 at $5.50. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into ninth behind Bulletproof Boy at this track over 2240m in a No NR on November 9 at $34. This looks a far sterner test.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr3) over 1720m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was 3rd-4.03 beaten 4 m by Perfect Class (1:59.40) in G2 No NR on November 16 at $21. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 7 m win (Sr4) at this track (2:36.30) beating Helluva in No NR on November 9 at $5.50 at the bell was 4th-8.02. Capable of playing a major role.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr7) over 1720m at this track was 10th-15.27 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Perfect Class (1:59.40) in G2 No NR on November 16 at $18. Showed ability the run before when he won by a neck as favourite (Sr2) at this track (1:59.90) beating Serg Blanco in No NR on November 2 at $3.10 at the bell was 3rd-7.3m 2WNC. Likely to play a major role.
