Melton Race 8 - Dynamic Print Group Pace

RAVISHING RUBY NZ (3) showed ability in a brief juvenile campaign, winning easily on debut at Hobart before working for second in the 2F Sweepstakes Final when last seen in August. Likely to have developed with maturity and has been readied with a solid trial. Hails from a top yard and a good draw gives her every chance for a winning return. MISTER AMERICANO (6) is working towards a win having missed narrowly from a back row draw at Hamilton last start. Fourth at Listed level here prior. Could challenge. ASMILEANDAWINX (1) is aided by the ace draw and showed improvement to place from a much wider barrier last start. Trifecta hope. MIKISPUR (5) may be ready to show more third-up. Next best.

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up posted a big 12 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Hobart (1:56.50) beating Stayzbetter in 2yo No NR F on July 25 at $1.55. Promising filly and the good draw gives her every chance of a winning return.

Good run when beaten by 5.5 m finishing fourth behind Brooklyn Dan at this track over 1720m in a 3yo LR No NR on February 14 at $31. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Roblen Ranger at Hamilton over 2160m in a NR up to 55 on February 23 at $1.35. Leading contender.

Seven-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. 2nd (Fr5) over 2180m at Kilmore, at the bell was 5th-11.66 beaten 18 m by Isolation (2:40.80) in NR 52 to 56 on February 26 at $26. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into seventh after showing early speed, behind Momentum Shift at this track over 2240m in a NR 55 to 62 on January 23 at $19. This looks a far sterner test.
