Melton Race 6 - Australian Pacing Gold Pace
BEAU BECA (2) did a great job at his latest appearance, leading from this barrier and fighting on well to be beaten only a head into second at Kilmore. Has the speed to push forward again so could go one better. BUILDTHEMANASTATUE (1) has changed yards since he drew wide and finished fifth in the Dandy Patch Final at Hobart last start. Won twice in a row prior. Should enjoy an economical run from this draw. Has the talent to take this out. ARTIST (6) raced parked but boxed on okay at his most recent appearance. All three career wins have come at this distance. OOH AH LISTAH (5) draws wider but showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up at this circuit and distance and should be nearing peak fitness.

Last start was well beaten into fifth behind Bettor Than Ready at Hobart over 2090m in a 2yo on October 31 at $9. Raced better the start before that where he tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Hobart (2:36.30) beating Farroh Joe in 2yo on October 16 at $4.20 at the bell was 3rd-4.6. Draws well so can be right in the thick of things.

Last start 8th (Fr3) over 2200m after showing early pace at Ballarat beaten 50 m by Yankee Rain (2:42.60) on October 29 at $23. Before that, 6th (Sr4) over 1609m at Geelong, at the bell was 5th-7.41 beaten 15 m by Arzali Rockstar (1:55.00) on October 16 at $34. Better than the last few runs suggest and draws well so can improve sharply.

Fair performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing sixth behind Sriracha at this track over 2240m on October 31 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Lowrider at this track over 1720m on November 7 at $17. Can make his presence felt.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr6) over 1690m at Shepparton, at the bell was 9th-13.41 beaten 14 m by Delizioso (2:02.30) on October 28 at $51. Before that surrendered the lead and finished 5th (Fr2) over 1750m after showing early speed at Swan Hill, at the bell was 3rd-4.3 beaten 11 m by Feel The Reign (2:06.70) on October 15 at $6.50. Not keen.
