Melton Race 9 - Hyland Racing Colours Pace
DYNAMITEDAN (2) was knocked out of the Gold Chalice consolation when last seen in March but showed ability last season with a couple of Menangle wins including the rich APG Sydney Sales Graduate Final. Has won fresh before and should get every chance from the low draw. MISS ARI (6) hasn't raced since the NSW Oaks 13 months ago but was showing promise prior, winning her other two starts of that campaign. Proven fresh and has been readied with a couple of trials. KEAYANG SWEETHEART (5) chased a handy when when runner-up at Terang last start and has yet to miss a place in six starts, winning three of them. FIRE MARSHALL (7) draws wide but has placed in his last two outings here, the latest from a similar draw.

Last start 9th (Sr3) over 1720m at this track, beaten 21 m by King Saint (2:03.80) on May 30 at $71. Two runs back raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by a nose (Sr1) at Geelong (2:35.10) beating Colosimo in on May 22 at $9.50 at the bell was 3rd-3.66. Prefer others on this occasion.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing third behind The Art Of Success at this track over 1720m in a M on April 25 at $4.20. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after being driven well back, behind I Am The Storm at Terang over 2180m on May 18 at $4.20. Continues to race well and is one of the contenders.

Good run when beaten by 3 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Hoorah Philtra at this track over 1720m on May 2 at $3.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third behind All Blazing Guns at this track over 2240m on May 9 at $9.50. Could be close to another win.
