SELECTIONS: BIZZNESS CLASS (3), HITTHEROADJACK (7), KOSIMO (1), NEATNTIDY (4)
OVERVIEW: BIZZNESS CLASS (3) has had just the one win from his 25 ventures to Melton, but I’ll jump in his corner in a race where he should lob handy in the small field and appreciate what is likely to be a genuine tempo. Last time, he settled three fence and hit the line nicely for third behind Mount Barker Boy in a sizzling last half, and had been cruelled by bad gates in his two prior starts. He always finishes off his races and I’m hoping he can finally get back into the winner’s stall here at HQ. HITTHEROADJACK (7) led from wide on the front row at Melton on September 25 and bolted in so must be respected if he finds the top again, KOSIMO (1) is getting right back in grade, draws well and did close off nicely last weekend at Geelong for third behind Ollies The Boss, while NEATNTIDY (4) is a speedy starter who led and won first-up at Mildura and would be a big player if able to cross down to the pegs. Noting a small share in TIMBIMBOO (2), who was just fair first-up behind HITTHEROADJACK (7) but is open to improvement after surgery and a long break. They can all win without surprising.
