Melton Race 9 - Swift Signs Trot
VYTIS (6) made a nice return at his latest appearance a week ago, finishing third after racing parked at this venue. Up to a distance where he owns a good record and goes very well second-up with two wins and a placing from three attempts so can atone. MUSKEE (8) began badly last week but had been going very well prior, winning three of his previous four attempts. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Can bounce back. RINGER WELLS (3) progressed off a fresh placing to come from the back row and score by a head here last week. Plenty of room for further improvement so another win would not surprise. LITTLE YANKEE (5) returns to the front row and recorded a win and two placings from the last three times he started from there.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 3rd (Sr2) over 1720m at this track beaten a head by Ringer Wells (2:04.40) on June 13 at $51. Before that 3rd (50m Fr2) over 2627m at Warragul, at the bell was 5th-17.6 beaten 17 m by The Preacher (3:23.70) on June 8 at $13. Not keen.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr2) over 1720m at this track, beaten 15 m by Crackerjack (2:03.20) on June 13 at $51. Showed ability the run before when he won by 5.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr3) at this track (2:47.50) beating Ringer Wells in on June 6 at $7 at the bell was 4th-4.01. In the mix from a good draw.

Second-up here following a spell. Good run when 3rd (Fr3) over 1720m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track, beaten 6 m by Crackerjack (2:03.20) on June 13 at $2.60. Fitter and worth following up.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr6) over 1720m at this track beaten 25 m by Crackerjack (2:03.20) on June 13 at $101. Before that was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr7) over 2240m at this track was 4th-8.74 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Stockman Peter (2:46.70) on May 16 at $21. Has the job ahead.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Crackerjack at this track over 1720m on June 13 at $4.80. Performed better the start before where he posted a big 4 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr7) at this track (2:47.10) beating Nakedtruth in on May 23 at $2 at the bell was leading 2.68. Rates highly. Can bounce back.
