Melton Race 7 - Australian Pacing Gold Pace
SPEEDY HEALEY (5) landed a hat-trick of wins last start when he came from this same barrier and scored by 4.7 metres at Ballarat. Stays in the same grade so he can keep the ball rolling. WICHITA KANSAS (9) is in good form. Placed two back then gave a sight when he led and boxed on for fourth at his latest appearance at Ballarat. Player if things go his way from the back line. MIDNIGHT MOJO (8) is heading the right way, making it back-to-back placings when second at this venue last time. Could break through. VERY TEMPTING (2) is up in grade off last week's win but is aided by the draw.
