Melton Race 6

Cnc Router Bits Pace

Stake: $10,800

MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (6) was below his best when midfield last week but did draw on the back row. Came through the Gold Chalice series at Bathurst prior where he was runner-up in a heat. Owns a good record at this distance and his best form wins this. COLLECTIVE WORKS (5) was good when placed from the back row here last Saturday. Heading in the right direction again. He's a threat. BULLDOG KHAN (9) drew wide and worked when second last time and recorded back-to-back wins last month, one of them here. Player with even luck. EDWARDE GRANGE (4) has been coming from the back row of late so the good draw brings him right into it.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after a quick start, behind Jaccka Connor at this track over 1720m in a NR 65 to 75 on May 10 at $3.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third behind Alot Like Louie at this track over 2240m in a NR 60 to 69 on May 17 at $4.80. Close to a win.
