Melton Race 8 - Swift Signs Pace

JUSTLIKEDAVE (6) put the writing on the wall with back-to-back placings before delivering with an impressive win at Cranbourne last time, working forward from a similar barrier to this to find the front before cruising home by 18.6 metres. Hard to knock off that performance. CINQUANTA (3) produced another strong effort last time when she led from this barrier and battled on bravely to just miss out at Kilmore. That was her fourth placing on the trot so her hoof is on the till. BACKBEACH PETER (8) has yet to fire this time in but has won a trial since last seen. Draws for a trail and could be an improver. WOODLEA DIEGO NZ (5) improved to place here last start and while drawn wider he should be hitting peak fitness now.

Last start 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at Cranbourne, at the bell was 4th-7.2 beaten 7 m by Home And Dry (1:57.20) on September 13 at $3.80. Two runs back 8th (Fr1) over 2200m after showing early speed at Ballarat well beaten by Just Like Nugget (2:40.60) on September 2 at $5. Draws the inside but it has been a long while between drinks so happy to overlook.
