Melton Race 4

City Of Melton Pace

Stake: $19,075

WINGS ON THE LINE (2) made a nice return at her latest appearance six weeks ago, finishing a nose away in second over 1720m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets some better types this time but a win is on the cards. LE BELLE BIJOUX (1) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 18 metres into tenth at this track over 2240m. No excuses from this more advantageous draw. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to put herself in the winners' stall. JUSTALITTLESIP (3) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 2240m at this track last time out. KOSIMO (6) could only finish seventh over 2240m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Last start was well beaten into tenth after being driven well back, behind Some American at this track over 2240m in a NR 80 to 89 on August 9 at $61. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 2nd (Fr6) over 2240m after being wide early at this track, at the bell was leading 4.03 beaten 1.3 m by Diamond Eclipse (2:41.00) in NR up to 95 on July 26 at $12. Should be in the finish.

Carried through her consistent form from last preparation when first-up last start. Returned to racing with a game effort when 2nd (Fr6) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 2nd-2.81 beaten a nose by Surfingmakescents (2:02.40) in NR up to 79 M on July 5 at $4.20. Sure to improve on that first up effort. Very hard to beat.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 5th (Sr1) over 2240m at this track beaten 13 m by Some American (2:40.50) in NR 80 to 89 on August 9 at $21. The start before 6th (Sr1) over 1720m at this track, beaten 3 m by Clymenus (2:01.50) in NR 75 to 88 on August 2 at $23. Has the ability to figure prominently from a better draw.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr6) over 2240m at this track beaten 13 m by Some American (2:40.50) in NR 80 to 89 on August 9 at $41. At his previous start 4th (Sr1) over 2240m at this track, at the bell was 5th-7.93 beaten 9 m by Diamond Eclipse (2:41.00) in NR up to 95 on July 26 at $5. Is a genuine threat.
