MELTON   28 Jun 2025
 
GOING: G

LOGICAL STAFFING SOLUTIONS 2YO PACE 1720m

Track: GOOD      

SHOWMETHETANLINES (1) returns after winning both starts of his maiden campaign, the first of them at Addington before he crossed the Tasman to land the G3 Sapling Stakes in Sydney. That was three-and-a-half months ago but he'll be ready off three nice trials and gets the ace draw. The two Emma Stewart runners are dangers, particularly BROOKLYN DAN (2) who placed from the back row last time. He should get his chance from this much more favourable draw. KNIGHT FURY DAN (5) starts from a few spots wider but was only 1.2m behind Brooklyn Dan last start and did kick off his career with a win at this circuit and distance. MAXO MIGHTY (3) was well beaten fresh but won both starts of his maiden campaign so could do better.
