Melton Race 10 - Hygain Edge Pace
THE ART OF SUCCESS (3) continued her terrific progress and extended her winning run to five when she led and kept going to score by 4.7 metres at this venue last time. Draws low enough to push forward again so can add to the picket fence. Stalemate STORMS COLLIDE (7) looks the danger. Draws wide and hasn't raced since the Vicbred final in November but he flies fresh with three wins and a placing from four attempts and he should be ready to go again after two nice trials. SOAP AND BUBBLES (1) continued her consistent form when she won at this circuit and distance two back before a second from much wider last week. The ace draw should see her make an impact again. LE BELLE BIJOUX (2) has been solid from the back row of late and draws to be competitive.

Has a nice draw and expected to figure prominently again.

Brings the right form to the table. Posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (2:41.30) beating Le Belle Bijoux in on June 6 at $1.25 at the bell was leading 4.17. Two runs back posted a big 12 m win as favourite (Sr1) at this track (2:01.10) beating Our Ultimate Gracy in M on May 16 at $1.15 at the bell was leading 2.7. Can add to the winning streak.

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up won by 1.75 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (2:02.10) beating Tara Victory in on June 28 at $1.07. First-up record is strong, including three wins, so could make a winning return.
