Melton Race 5 - Forty Winks Melton Pace

CIGANO (7) made a winning return after eight months on the sidelines, starting a hot favourite and racing wide in the latter stages before scoring by 2.8m at this venue. Draws wider but strikes at 50 per cent when second-up so should be improved and is a two-time winner at this longer distance so looks the one to beat. Stablemate LET HER ROLL (9) hasn't raced since placing in the Breeders Crown 3F Final here in December and won two in a row prior including the SA Oaks. Strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance and is yet to miss a place in four fresh attempts, winning twice. Tricky draw but has been readied with two trials and is talented. SWEET IDEAL (8) made it two wins from her last four outings when getting home by a head last time. Draws for a trail and has the fitness edge on the top two. CLYMENUS NZ (1) draws better this time so include.
