Melton Race 4

Forty Winks Melton Pace

Prize Money: $5,000

AVEIRO (4) should find this a bit easier than his latest solid effort when he chased along the spring lane to be beaten 4m. Came from the back row to miss by a neck as runner-up at this circuit and distance prior. Could break through here. HAVADASH JOH (3) showed good improvement when he came from this barrier to be beaten less than 2m as runner-up at Cranbourne last time. Fitter again third-up so could progress further. PICKLE IT (1) looks close to a win having come from wider barriers to place in his last three outings. Up in grade but should enjoy a nice run from the ace draw. TEX GOES BANG (7) draws wide but there was plenty of merit in the last-start win when he worked but proved too good by 2m at Cranbourne.

Solid run when a close second after a quick start, behind Gozo Major at Cranbourne over 1609m on June 28 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Dot Ball at Cranbourne over 1609m on July 5 at $9. Bursting to win one.

Didn't do much last start, 7th (Fr1) over 2240m at this track, at the bell was 8th-14.69 beaten 18 m by Caledonian Terra (2:47.80) on May 29 at $18. Before that was well back in the run when 6th (Fr2) over 2240m at this track, beaten 40 m by Lenard Ess (2:46.20) on May 15 at $51. This looks too tough.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Precious Belle at Cranbourne over 2080m on June 28 at $3.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind Bona Khan at Cranbourne over 1609m on July 5 at $17. Progressing well. Fitter again so could go one better.

Last start 9th (Sr1) over 2180m at Kilmore beaten 40 m by Foregone Conclusion (2:43.90) on July 2 at $12. Before that, 5th (Fr5) over 1690m after showing early speed at Shepparton, at the bell was 5th-10.89 beaten 15 m by Postit Lafite (2:01.10) on June 23 at $11. May be worth another chance.
