RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: JAZZY MELEA (2) was awfully unlucky when held up all the way to the line second-up from a break last weekend at Melton. She looked to have plenty to give and never got clear air, with Alwaysbealady coming from behind on the pegs to score. Her first-up run prior to that was very good and she looks to have a great chance here, particularly if she can cross the pole-marker and find the fence. SOAP AND BUBBLES (11) didn’t sprint as sharply as I expected last time, but the stewards’ notes reveal a flat tyre there so she has to be given a big hope on previous form. She’s very fast over a short distance and can round up her rivals if close enough turning for home. THESTATESMAN (8) is a talented horse resuming on the back of a Bacchus Marsh trial win, while KIA ORA BEAUTY (1) draws for a good trip and was good chasing home the smart Komodo last weekend. Other key hopes look to be ODIN (9) and JILLIBY ILLUMINATE (9). Noting an ownership share in TIMBIMBOO (6), but he was very disappointing from the front last time and would need to improve. BACK: JAZZY MELEA (2) – 2 units (win)
