Melton Race 1 - Pyrdes Easifeed Pace

ROCKY PACIFIC NZ (9) was returning from a spell last start when he raced parked but fought on well to finish second at Cranbourne. Draws on the back row but has won when second-up before so should be improved and was successful the only time he attempted this distance. MAAS BETTING AGAIN (3) showed plenty of fight to come from a wider barrier and score at the most recent appearance at Cranbourne, getting home by 1.4 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Primary contender. DRESSED IN GOLD NZ (10) could be close to a win after making it back-to-back placings by finishing third at Bendigo last time out. ULTIMATE JOY (4) resumes after 15 months but was readied with a series of trials and has shown ability in the past. Keep safe.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing second after a quick start, behind With In Reason at Shepparton over 2190m on June 23 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind My Ultimate Barney at Bendigo over 1650m on July 1 at $31. Can continue the good form.
