Melton Race 2 - Irt 2Yo Maiden Pace

COASTAL DRIVE (7) comes through the Vicbred Super Series where he was beaten just a nose by a Group 1 winner when runner-up in the heats and was last seen when fourth in a consolation from this same barrier. He looks nicely placed in maiden company. YANKEE RAIN (3) should be at her peak for this and draws well. She hasn't missed the top-four this time in and could be ready to strike after missing by just a nose in a Vicbred consolation last start. HARBOUR SPRINGS (10) didn't have a lot go her way from a tough draw on debut at Bendigo so did well to finish within 4.7 metres. Draws on the back row again but has been back to the trials so should have come on. IN AN IDEAL WORLD (2) is improving with racing this campaign and should be close to peaking after a third at Bendigo last start.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind My Little Bo at Maryborough over 1690m in a 2yo 0-2 WINS on September 4 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Momentum Shift at Maryborough over 2190m in a 2yo 0-2 WINS on September 18 at $3.40. Could be there at the business end.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.25 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind My Little Bo at Maryborough over 1690m in a 2yo 0-2 WINS on September 4 at $18. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Ynobe Nova at Ararat over 1790m in a 2yo 0-1 WIN on September 15 at $3.30. Nice effort last time. First four hope.
