Melton Race 2 - Benstud Standardbreds Pace
FIAMMA (8) is much better than what she showed as a beaten favourite in a decent line-up last week. She is better placed coming back in grade and strikes at 50 per cent at this distance. Should enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw so can atone. JILLIBYJACKSPARROW (9) is close to a win off back-to-back seconds at this circuit and easily beat FIAMMA home when he missed by just a neck last week. Draws on the back row this time but his circuit and distance statistics are good. LITTLE LOUIE (1) last appeared when third in the Mildura Cup three months ago and he had won his previous two. Has won two of three attempts when fresh so keep safe from the ace draw. UBETCHA TIGERPIE (4) goes well at this circuit and distance and is in the mix returning to the front line.

Returns after three months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when beaten by 6 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Dangerous at Mildura over 2600m in a NR 75 on April 6 at $8. Previous preparation first-up won by 4.5 m as favourite (Fr6) at Swan Hill (2:07.30) beating In The Paper in NR up to 50 on August 20 at $1.25. Could be hard to beat from the inside draw.

Good performance when beaten by 6 m finishing fourth after a quick start, behind Operative Line at this track over 2240m in a NR up to 89 on June 22 at $18. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing third behind Gawn at Ballarat over 1710m in a NR 70 to 79 on June 28 at $7.50. Consider.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fifth behind Operative Line at this track over 2240m in a NR up to 89 on June 22 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.75 m finishing second behind Gawn at Ballarat over 1710m in a NR 70 to 79 on June 28 at $10. Solid prospects.

Five-year-old mare who has plenty of ability. Unlucky last start 7th (Fr4) over 1720m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 17 m by Captain Hammerhead (1:59.10) in NR 80 to 105 on June 29 at $2.50. Worth another chance.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Captain Hammerhead at this track over 1720m NR 80 to 105 last start. Before that was beaten 1.2 metres second again at this track over 2240m in NR up to 89 on June 22. Racing well and is a strong chance.
