Melton Race 3

Cnc Router Bits Pace

Stake: $4,440

TEST OF FIRE (1) led from this same draw last start and while he couldn't see it out that was his first start for five weeks so it should have improved him. Can take advantage of the gate again and with added fitness on his side could prove harder to get past. IAMAWINGATE (8) is in fine form. Saluted two runs back then recorded a commanding win from wider on this row last time out, scoring by 8 metres at Bendigo. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon and owns a good record at this circuit and distance. BIG RIG SAINT (9) was good in scoring last start by 2.5 metres at Shepparton. Tougher draw but won from this row four back. MIDNIGHT MOJO (5) is in the mix after turning in a good effort here last start when second from a back row draw.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr4) over 1609m at Geelong, beaten 25 m by Carramar Olam (1:56.50) in NR 47 to 51 on August 29 at $13. Before that was well back in the run when 9th (Fr7) over 2200m after racing wide at Ballarat, beaten 35 m by American Alli (2:42.90) in NR 45 to 50 on August 21 at $71. Must improve sharply.

Well-beaten 10 days ago at Shepparton over 2190m, and two back surrendered the lead and finished 7th (Fr4) over 1690m after showing early pace at Shepparton, beaten 30 m by Karuma Kev (2:01.90) in NR 45 to 51 on August 19 at $6. Hard to have on those efforts.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Caledonian Terra at Geelong over 1609m in a NR 43 to 48 on August 15 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Star Ruler at this track over 1720m in a NR 42 to 47 on August 22 at $5. Progressing well. Capable of going well again.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Sr5) over 2190m at Shepparton, beaten 40 m by Big Rig Saint (2:42.10) in NR up to 49 on August 26 at $12. Showed ability the run before when he won by 4 m as favourite (Sr2) at Launceston (2:04.70) beating Horrie Otara in NR 40 to 44 on August 15 at $2.90. Can play a role.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
