Melton Race 3

Melton City Council Pace Final

Prize Money: $6,000

STAR RULER (1) led and kept going to score by more than 2m at this circuit and distance last week, giving him two wins and two seconds from his last four outings. Has the speed to take advantage of the ace draw so looks hard to catch. MICTON MOUSE (2) put the writing on the wall with a second two back at Ballarat before scoring by 3.6m at Maryborough on Monday. This is stronger but he has led in his last two outings so should be prominent from the low draw. ARE WEASLEY (3) was a brave second to Star Ruler here last week when he raced three wide without cover but fought on. Chance to turn the tables with better fortune. WRITTEN IN SILK (8) was beaten only 3.5m at Ballarat last start. Draws for a trail and is a two-time winner here. YANKEE GAMBLER (11) draws on the second line this time but must be respected off two wins and a placing from his last three starts.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Mad Punta at Kilmore over 2180m in a 3yo+ 0-1 WIN on June 26 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind Star Ruler at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 45 on July 25 at $7. Draws to make an impact.

Nine-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. 3rd (Fr5) over 1720m after showing early speed at this track was 5th-8.44 at the bell, beaten 5.5 m by Star Ruler (2:06.30) in NR up to 45 on July 25 at $18. The race before was not as impressive when beaten by 9 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Speedy Healey at Geelong over 1609m in a NR up to 46 on July 18 at $41. Prefer others on this occasion.

12-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. 3rd (Sr2) over 2190m at Maryborough was 3rd-6 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Hungry Hogarth (2:44.60) in NR 40 to 45 on July 28 at $7. The race before was not as impressive when beaten by 4.5 m finishing sixth behind Yankee Gambler at Ballarat over 1710m in a NR up to 45 on July 24 at $5.50. Prefer others.
