Melton Race 7 - Vicbred Voucher Pace

FOLLOWTHEACE (2) was a big improver here second up when he led from a wider barrier than this and went on to score by 3m. Has the speed to take advantage of this barrier and hasn't missed a place at this shorter distance. Goes very well third-up with two wins and a placing from three attempts so should be peaking. METEOR MOTH (8) has had to work in both outings since getting close to the smart Hi Manameisjeff at Listed level here last month. Strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance and draws for a trail. ALWAYS BE BLAKEY (1) has come from the back row for a win and a placing in two starts here since a spell and is well served by the ace draw. DESSIE GEE (6) has claims off a win here three back.

Two runs back ran on from midfield and won by 1.1 m (Sr1) at this track (2:41.90) beating Soho Darknstormy in NR up to 80 on February 21 at $11 at the bell was 4th-8.16. Draws well so can make an impact again.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 5th (Sr4) over 2150m at Birchip, at the bell was 2nd-2.2 beaten 10 m by Wicked Confession (2:38.00) in 4yo+ NR up to 90 on March 8 at $5. At the previous start 6th (Sr4) over 2195m after being wide early at Ararat was 3rd-3 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Ata Rangi (2:38.10) in NR up to 90 on February 27 at $1.80. Would be hard to beat with his A-game.
