Melton Race 4 - Vicbred Voucher Nmw Pace

LOWRIDER (6) registered his second win from the past three outings last start when he found the lead and did well to go on and score by 9 metres at this track over 2240m. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. ROYAL APPOINTMENT (1) was responsible for a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1790m at Mildura on July 31. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. MAAS BETTING AGAIN (3) is better than her last-start 11th over 1720m at this track would suggest. In the mix. HIGHLANDHARTBREAKA (4) must be considered after he finished third over 1200m at this track eight days ago.

Last start was well beaten into eleventh behind I Am The Storm at this track over 1720m on August 1 at $41. Performed better the start before where she won by 1.1 m after showing early speed, (Fr4) at this track (2:01.30) beating Seaside Boy in on July 18 at $3.90 at the bell was leading 2.27. From a low draw expected to bounce back.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Enjoy Life at this track over 1720m on July 25 at $26. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Insider Trading at this track over 1200m on July 31 at $5. Leading chance again.

Three-year-old colt who is showing promise. Showed plenty of ability first up won by 9 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (2:42.20) beating Keayang Seaside in on July 24 at $1.25 at the bell was leading 2.62. Likely improver who can continue the winning form.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after a quick start, behind Enjoy Life at this track over 1720m on July 25 at $8.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following July 17 run. Last start posted a big 5 m win when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at this track (2:04.30) beating Weona Our Rights in on July 31 at $3.50. This race will be harder than that win. Found a few ahead of her.
