Melton Race 3 - Prydes Easifeed Pace
OUR ULTIMATE GRACY NZ (3) is two from two since joining the Kerryn Manning stable for this campaign, leading from wider barriers each time. Goes up in grade but has the gate speed to take advantage of this draw so can land the hat trick. IN AN IDEAL WORLD (9) resumes having scored back-to-back wins at this venue late in the last campaign. Draws on the back row and has had five months off but has been readied with a trial so looking for a good return. NOSWEETSFORYOU (1) was outclassed at Group 1 level in the Queen of the Pacific last start but is much better placed here and is aided by the ace draw. BRINGSUSJOY (2) was runner-up at this circuit and distance last start and won the previous time she raced here. Draws for another good showing.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr5) over 2760m at this track beaten 50 m by Captains Mistress (3:15.90) in G1 No NR M on February 14 at $126. The run before 7th (Fr4) over 1785m after showing early speed at Stawell, at the bell was 2nd-3.6 beaten 9 m by Wild Bull (2:07.90) in NR 56 to 64 on February 9 at $21. Big drop in grade and should get her chance from this draw.

Five-year-old mare is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at Charlton both over 2100m. Last start won by 1.5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr7) at Charlton (2:32.80) beating James Garner in NR up to 55 on February 16 at $1.33 at the bell was leading 2.4. A good draw could see her win again.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 2.5 m when quickly away, (Fr1) at Cranbourne (2:30.50) beating Starzzz Destiny in NR 54 to 59 on February 22 at $16 at the bell was 4th-8.6. Two runs back 3rd (Fr5) over 1720m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was 2nd-1.7m 2WNC beaten 4.5 m by Keayang Santiago (2:02.80) in NR up to 57 on November 8 at $7.50. Might find this beyond him.
