Melton Race 4 - Encompassing Mares Pace
NAKULA (3) has returned in good order, leading from a similar barrier for a win by 3m at Kilmore last week. Should be improved by the hitout and could work through her grades this time in work. INDIGO DANCER (7) draws deep and steps up in grade but is two from two this time in and and races well at this circuit and distance so must rate highly. Hard to knock the consistency of KATHYS FREE (5) who added to a string of wins and placings when third last week at Bendigo. Came from a similar draw to this to score at that same venue three back. Last-start Cobram winner MOST TRIUMPHANT (8) does her best wok at this distance range and draws to enjoy a nice trail. SNOW HUNTER (9) did a good job to place when fresh and races second-up so can progress.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after showing early speed, behind Mona Mia at Geelong over 1609m in a NR up to 70 M on November 1 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Quaddie Vc at Yarra Valley over 1650m in a NR 55 to 64 on November 7 at $21. Expected to be prominent.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Swift Watch at Shepparton over 2190m in a NR 55 to 64 on November 5 at $2.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Ozzie Punta at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR 56 to 65 on November 13 at $8.50. Capable of going well on best figures.
