Melton Race 3 - Swift Signs Pace

SPEEDY HEALEY (10) settled well back then made a long run and was too strong late last start over 2240m at this track, getting home by a head to make it four consecutive victories. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. Meets a comparable field so he can certainly make his presence felt. VILLAROCK (5) was responsible for a far better performance last time out, finishing third over 1609m at Cranbourne. His recent form is good enough to take out a race like this. PISTOL PEARCE (4) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 2150m at Bendigo two-and-a-half weeks ago. THE VILLAIN (8) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a neck at this track over 1720m.

Didn't do much at the last run, surrendered the lead and finished 7th (Fr1) over 2180m after showing early speed at Kilmore beaten 50 m by Billys Tiger Khan (2:40.30) in NR 48 to 53 on July 31 at $34.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 7th (Sr4) over 2150m at Bendigo was 8th-11.55 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Vincent Grange (2:36.40) in 0-1 WIN on July 23 at $71. At the previous start 5th (Sr1) over 2180m at Kilmore beaten 23 m by Big Rig Saint (2:44.00) in 0-1 WIN on July 17 at $11. Better than last start and can improve sharply.

Looked good last start. Won by a head as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr4) held up early, at this track (2:47.50) beating Littleblabbamouth in NR 40 to 49 on August 1 at $1.28 at the bell was 4th-4.28. Two runs back posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite (Fr4) at Ballarat (2:42.60) beating Royal Saxon in NR 45 to 49 on July 24 at $2.25. Racing in great heart and expected to be in the finish again.
