Melton Race 1 - Renown Silverware Pace
LE CARDINAL (1) is really delivering this time in, coming from the back row to win both starts so far this prep. Very impressive last time when he started from the outside of the second line and covered ground before cruising home by 13 metres at Terang. Up in grade but the ace draw gives him the chance to take that next step. MEDINA (8) looks close to a win after clocking in second in his last two outings at Bendigo. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and the sprint lane is in play so he could be dangerous. ALL BLAZING GUNS (10) draws on the back row this time but is going well having recorded a win and a second in two starts here off a spell. RANGER RICK NZ (4) has placed in all four starts this time in. Race fit so respect.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.75 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Major Blitz at Ballarat over 1710m on May 14 at $3.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind One Golden Deal at Horsham over 2200m on May 25 at $1.95. Can continue his consistent form.

Good run when beaten by 3 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Tooram Magic at Bendigo over 1650m on May 6 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Ultimate Vinnie at Bendigo over 2150m on May 20 at $2.60. Draws for a trail and looks close to a win.
