Melton Race 7 - Swift Signs Pace
SNAZOLA (1) ran seventh last start at Kilmore over 1690m, beaten 20 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field, and she is the one to beat. MYNAMEISRUBY (8) saluted two runs back, then her luck changed last time when she broke and finished 10 metres back in sixth over 1650m at Bendigo. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane. Big chance if she gets it right early on. MIDNITE DESIRE (5) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Cranbourne. Include in all combinations. ALCATRAZ GIRL (10) must be respected after scoring last start by 4.5 metres at Geelong over 1609m. Go again.
