Melton Race 5 - Forty Winks Melton Pace

THE FINAL DANCE (4) scored by 5.5 metres at Geelong over 1609m last start, the second win from his past three runs. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. INSIDER TRADING (5) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last eight starts including a third most recently at Warragul over 1790m. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat again. ANGELS WATCHING (6) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1710m at Ballarat eight days ago. HIGHLANDHARTBREAKA (8) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1720m at this track.

Last start 7th (Fr4) over 1720m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track beaten 24 m by Precious Belle (2:03.40) on July 24 at $9. Two runs back won by a neck after showing early speed, (Fr6) at this track (2:06.90) beating Aveiro in on July 10 at $4.33 at the bell was leading 4.8. Not keen on her chances in this field.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Nugget Rogers at this track over 1720m on July 15 at $3.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Telemachus at Ballarat over 1710m on July 23 at $6.50. One of the key runners.
