Melton Race 2

Waste Sense Pace

Stake: $6,100

BLUE MIKI (1) has been racing well from wider or second row barriers of late including a second at his latest appearance at Ballarat, working from out wide before he was beaten only beaten 1.5 metres. Should enjoy an economical run from this draw so gets his chance to break through. ALLHEARTNOHEIGHT (4) scored back-to-back wins here last month and hasn't been far from the placegetters since. With her A-game she can take care of this line-up. PRECIOUS BELLE NZ (8) had a wide draw last start but had recorded two wins and two placings from the previous four starts so is worth another chance. MIDNIGHT MOJO (6) owns a decent record at this circuit and distance so is worth including.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.5 m second behind Just Like Nugget at Ballarat over 2200m last start. Before that was beaten 1.2 metres second again at Ballarat over 1710m same class on August 26. The ace draw gives him the chance to break through.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Recent form below what she is capable of. Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr6) over 2180m after being wide early at Kilmore, beaten 5 m by Archaa (2:42.60) on September 3 at $3.50. The run previous was well back in the run when 6th (Fr7) over 1710m at Ballarat beaten 17 m by War Zone (2:03.00) on August 19 at $9. Expecting a better run this time.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr6) over 1790m at Ararat, at the bell was 7th-8.2 beaten 14 m by Grinning Beach Boy (2:10.80) on August 23 at $17. Before that, a good run when 3rd (Sr2) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 5th-10.1 beaten 9 m by Foregone Conclusion (2:02.60) on August 12 at $5. No surprise if she turned things around.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind Rosberg at this track over 1720m on August 7 at $23. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Lenard Ess at this track over 1720m on August 28 at $17. Could be ready to peak.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
