Melton Race 8

Prydes Easifeed Trot

Stake: $16,350

WATTS UP PARTYTIME (7) broke when tackling stronger company last start but had been racing well before that with a win and two seconds from his previous three outings here. This suits so can win if he gets it right. EL RESAMO (4) has been racking up the wins and made it three in succession last start, leading from a wider barrier and getting home by 5.7 metres at Ballarat. Meeting a deeper field this time but could take the next step. KEAYANG XENA (2) enjoys a class drop on the last attempt and went close when runner up from this same draw here two back. LADY ADELIA (6) draws deeper but is a player off a last-start second at Listed level.

Last start was well beaten into seventh after being restrained, behind Hatchback at this track over 1720m in a NR 70 to 100 on June 22 at $81. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 1720m after showing early speed at this track was leading by 1.38 at the bell, beaten a neck by El Resamo (2:05.10) in 0W/15K on June 15 at $2.30. Has the ability to play a major role.

In good form last posted a big 5.5 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr7) at Ballarat (2:06.90) beating Perfidious Sue in NR 60 to 69 on June 28 at $2.40 at the bell was leading 2.5m on the pegs. Two runs back won by 4 m after showing early speed, (Fr6) at Ballarat (2:46.10) beating Royal Charlotte in NR up to 70 on June 21 at $5 at the bell was leading 1.19. Flying at present and is a huge chance again.

Last start won by a nose (Sr6) at this track (2:48.60) beating Mcgee in NR up to 64 on June 27 at $6 at the bell was 4th-5.98. No surprise if he made it two on the trot.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
