Melton Race 5 - Renown Silverware Pace
TIVOLI (8) comes through the Vicbred Super Series where she was fifth in her heat before working and fading out of the final. Had gone into that series off a placing at this circuit and distance. Draws for a trail and will enjoy a class drop. FROSTY DROP (1) gave a good sight here last time, leading from this barrier and sticking on for fourth, beaten 4.5 metres. She can be in this for a long way. BLACKINDEED (7) is first up for five-and-a-half months but is a two-time winner at this circuit and distance and was readied with two trials so can open this campaign with a positive effort. TRYX VIXEN (3) draws well and is another better placed coming off the Vicbred series.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 7th (Fr3) over 1785m at Stawell beaten 40 m by King Kasey (2:08.90) on September 14 at $23. Showed ability the run before when she ran on from midfield and won by 2 m after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Ballarat (2:05.90) beating Cool Story in on August 19 at $5 at the bell was leading 0.95. Consider.
