Melton Race 1 - Prydes Easifeed Pace
The winning run SEASIDE BOY (11) came to an end last start but the effort still had merit when he came from this row and worked but stuck on for a 1.3m third. Has had six weeks off and may need some better luck but he is progressive having won his other three starts this time in, cruising home by 11m here prior. MAAS BETTING AGAIN (4) is in a purple patch of form having made it two wins on the trot when she led and kept going to score by 6m at this circuit and distance last week. Draws a little wider but could land the hat trick. LAMBRO MACH (8) found winning form in good style at Cranbourne last time out. Draws for a trail so could be competitive again along with EVILEYE (3) who came from a similar barrier to miss by only 2.5m here last week.

Last start was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr6) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway was 9th-13.7 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Lombok (2:03.20) on July 3 at $26. Two runs back won by a head when quickly away, (Fr6) at Shepparton (2:02.90) beating Denny Rocks in on June 23 at $23 at the bell was leading 2.06. Needs to do more. Not keen this time.

Didn't do much at the last run, was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr7) over 2240m at this track, at the bell was 8th-14.1 beaten 15 m by Sweet Irish Loch (2:43.30) on July 11 at $71. Before that was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr3) over 1650m at Bendigo, at the bell was 6th-15.44 beaten 19 m by My Ultimate Barney (1:56.50) on July 1 at $31. Unlikely to threaten.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Miss Ari at this track over 2240m on July 4 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Sweet Irish Loch at this track over 2240m on July 11 at $81. Can continue the good form.
