Melton Race 3 - Vicbred Voucher Pace
KEAYANG SWEETHEART (8) was rewarded for her consistent form with a tough win here last start, working but digging in to get home by 4m. Up in distance but draws for a trail so could strike again. SWEET IRISH LOCH (2) was drawn much wider when beaten only 2.5m last start. Had been racing well prior including a win here two back. The better draw could see her returning to winning form. OLLIES THE BOSS (4) should find this easier than the last attempt and had kicked off the campaign with back-to-back seconds prior. Race fit now so can make an impact. BIZZNESS CLASS (9) performed well as favourite last start, beaten 2.8m into second at Mildura. Tricky draw here but can be competitive with even luck. TIVOLI (3) was solid from the back line last week so is worth including aided by the good draw.

Came from wider last start and was well back in the run when 5th (Fr6) over 1710m at Ballarat was 7th-10.87 at the bell, beaten 2.5 m by Kiss Me Mini (2:02.70) on June 25 at $1.75. Showed ability the outing before when she was well back before the turn; posted a big 3 m win as favourite (Fr3) at this track (2:02.40) beating Leavemeout in on June 12 at $2.70 at the bell was 6th-12.79. A low draw may see her hard to beat.
