Melton Race 2

Living Legends Pace

Stake: $10,800

SOHO DARKNSTORMY (7) missed narrowly when resuming at this circuit before he led for a 2.7m win at Cranbourne last time. He draws wide but has more upside than many of these. KWICK SAND (8) has put four placings together, the last three at this venue. Came from wider on this row when beaten only 1.1m last week and draws for a nice trail. Big chance. CLEAR LEFT (3) was out of the money last time but had looked close to a win when placed at his previous three. Draws well so is worth another chance. DANCE AFFAIR (9) is in form having won his last two at Geelong and strikes at 50 per cent here.

Improved last start with a game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr4) over 1720m at this track beaten 2.5 m by Grayson Red (2:02.90) in 0W/15 0K stake on June 7 at $26. Decent effort last start. Looking to others.

Didn't do much last time out, was driven from back in the field when 8th (Sr6) over 1720m after being wide early at this track was 12th-18.9 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Always Be Blakey (2:03.70) in NR 56 to 64 on June 6 at $61. Before that 7th (Fr5) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 6th-14.57 beaten 13 m by Seathestars (2:02.80) in NR 57 to 67 on May 31 at $101. Hard to have.

Comes here second-up after four weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 8th (Sr5) over 2240m at this track beaten 23 m by The Iron Duke (2:41.90) in NR 60 to 69 on May 17 at $101. Unlikely to threaten against this field.
