Melton Race 2

Lamaros Hotel Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

COVERED IN GOLD (8) settled back from this row at his latest appearance then made a long sustained run to record a game win by a neck at Kilmore. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and the sprint lane is in play so could strike again. METRO MEMORY (1) scored at Maryborough two starts back then did a good job again at his latest appearance at Echuca, coming from wider to be beaten only 1.5 metres into second. Should enjoy an economical run from this draw and strikes at 50 per cent here. FEEL THE REIGN (9) may need a touch of luck from the back row but hasn't been too far from the placegetters of late. HURRIKANE DUSTY (2) only missed narrowly last time and should get every chance from a favourable draw.

Last start game effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 2160m after showing early speed at Echuca, at the bell was leading 2.7 beaten 1.5 m by Luverboy (2:42.90) on July 7 at $3.30. Two runs back won by a neck after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Maryborough (2:02.00) beating Highview Hammer in on June 29 at $9.50 at the bell was leading 2.6. Decent effort last start. The ace draw can see him measure up again.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Some High at this track over 2240m on June 26 at $34. Then a handy effort when a close third after a quick start, behind Eyesealittle at Charlton over 1609m on July 6 at $2.60. Go well.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr7) over 1790m at Warragul was 8th-9.5 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Evileye (2:13.60) on June 8 at $4.80. Before that, 4th (Sr3) over 2240m at this track, at the bell was 6th-9.92 beaten 1.2 m by Talkbabytalk (2:44.80) on May 29 at $6.50. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to feature.

Can play a greater role this time.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 8th (Fr5) over 1740m after being wide early at Riverina Paceway was 9th-15.7 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Favoured Grace (2:02.10) on June 12 at $7. Showed ability the run before when he won by 3 m when quickly away, (Fr6) at Shepparton (2:02.70) beating Will He Reign in on June 9 at $4.80 at the bell was leading 2.76. Can play a role in the finish.

Racing in great heart. Last start won by a neck as favourite (Sr2) at Kilmore (2:03.60) beating Archaa in on July 2 at $1.85 at the bell was 4th-5.88. Big chance of back-to-back wins.

Expected Settling Position: Pace
