Melton Race 4

Hertz Melton Pace

Prize Money: $4,000

BULLETPROOF KID (10) had been racing well with a string of placings before delivering a well-deserved win at Cranbourne last start, leading to get home by 1.4m. Cops a tougher draw on the back row but is racing well enough to overcome that. DANCINGONSTARLIGHT (5) came from a similar draw to this when scoring in her latest outing at Cranbourne, getting home by 5m. Big chance to back that up. BETTES BLUE VIOLET (3) made an encouraging return after five months when coming from wider for a 3m third at Ballarat. Proven second-up and draws well so can progress. BREATHE EASY (4) was far from disgraced after racing three wide without cover last start and has claims after coming from a wider draw to place here two back. UP AND ABOUT (8) hasn't been far away in two outruns since a spell and is building fitness.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m fifth behind Best Back Bruce at Ballarat over 2200m NR 45 to 49 last start. Before that was beaten 1.1 metres second at this track over 1720m in NR 37 to 42 on March 14. Could be there at the business end.

Comes here second-up after four weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 8th (Sr2) over 1609m at Geelong, beaten 55 m by Ears The Boss (1:58.40) in 4yo+ MAIDEN on March 28 at $126. Hasn't done enough yet.

Racing consistently. Last start won by 1.4 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Cranbourne (1:57.50) beating Caruso Star in NR up to 49 on April 18 at $1.60 at the bell was leading 4.1m on the pegs. Recent form reads very well and can win again.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
