Melton Race 8 - Swift Signs 0-2 Ltw Trot
PROHIBITED BID (8) broke in the score-up and missed the start but recovered for second at Kilmore last week to make it four minor placings from her past five starts. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Leading hope if she gets it right. NO TELLING HEATHER (9) enjoys a big drop in grade from the Breeders Crown 3F Final and did manage a fourth in the Victoria Oaks last month so can measure right up to these. YOU GOT ME GOOD (4) has placed in three of four starts this time in, the latest a respectable third at Kilmore when off this same barrier. DISTANT SUN (7) is much better placed dropping back from the Breeders Crown 3CG Final last start.

Didn't do much last start, 5th (Fr3) over 2180m at Kilmore, beaten 30 m by Destrier (2:46.60) in 0-2 WINS on November 14 at $126. Before that 6th (Fr4) over 1740m at St Arnaud beaten 24 m by Jessicas Story (2:11.90) in NR up to 49 on November 10 at $31. Draws the pegs but is without a win for a very long while and may struggle.

Solid run when beaten by 2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Ai Sedhai at Maryborough over 2190m in a 2yo+ 0-2 WINS on November 6 at $6. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Destrier at Kilmore over 2180m in a 0-2 WINS on November 14 at $5.50. Should be in the finish again.

Resuming after a spell of two-and-a-half years. Finished off last campaign when beaten by 7 m finishing sixth after a quick start, behind Electrojet at this track over 1720m in a G3 NR 52 to 66 M on February 26 2022 at $2.80. Could go well despite the long layoff.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 8th (Fr1) over 2240m at this track, beaten 35 m by Violet Stanford (2:46.10) in 3yo G2 No NR F on November 16 at $61.

Much better placed.
