Melton Race 5 - Australian Pacing Gold Pace

COOL STORY (8) made a strong return after more than six months on the sidelines when he scored by 13.5 metres at Bendigo. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Fitter and could go through his grades this time in work. DIVINE TILLY (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 2.4 metres from the winner in second at Bendigo. Draws wider but with even luck she is good enough to take out a race like this. PRECIOUS BELLE NZ (3) scored two back and didn't do a bad job when fifth at Cranbourne last time out. Draws well and has won at this circuit and distance before. WICHITA KANSAS (2) was beaten less than 5m from the back line last time. Placed in his previous three outings and draws well so can feature.

Was well back in the run when 4th (Fr5) over 2160m at Echuca, at the bell was 6th-14.4 beaten 11 m by Wheres Wood Wood (2:44.60) in M on July 7 at $41. Before that 11th (Sr4) over 1690m at Maryborough, at the bell was 11th-16.6 beaten 17 m by Kimchi (2:05.10) on June 29 at $61. Unlikely to threaten.

Fair last start; was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at Cranbourne was 9th-12.5 at the bell, beaten 5.5 m by Bona Khan (1:56.30) on July 5 at $9. Showed ability the run before when she failed to make any headway until the straight; raced back and made ground from the turn; won by 1.1 m when driven back in the field, (Fr4) held up early, at Cranbourne (2:35.40) beating Caledonian Terra in on June 28 at $6.50 at the bell was 6th-7.6. Drawn well and can make an impact.

Good run when beaten by 6 m finishing fifth after being driven well back, behind Freak Out at Kilmore over 2180m on June 18 at $3. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Jilliby Illusion at Bendigo over 1650m in a M on July 1 at $15. Progressing well. One of the key runners.

At the run before 6th (Sr2) over 1650m at Bendigo, at the bell was 6th-12.06 beaten 14 m by Will He Reign (1:59.10) on June 24 at $6. Capable of more than he has shown recently.
