Melton Race 9

Beraldo Coffee Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

ART IDEAL (11) made a good impression when scoring a 1.8m win at Yarra Valley in his lone outing three-and-a-half months ago. Cops a tougher draw this time but is likely to have developed further with maturity and can go through his grades this time in. BURNING TICKETS (5) is racing well. Came from a wider barrier and finished second last start at Cranbourne, beaten 2.6 metres after scoring at the previous appearance here. Good enough to take out a race like this. HIGHLANDHARTBREAKA (9) was a dominant debut winner two back then drew wide last start. Can feature if things go his way from the back row. SASSYOLA (7) deserves respect off a last-start win by more 10 metres at Ballarat.

Eight-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 2nd (Fr2) over 1710m after showing early speed at Ballarat beaten 10 m by Sassyola (2:02.80) in NR 50 to 55 on December 5 at $61. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into tenth behind Likeable Rogue at this track over 2240m in a 4yo+ NR up to 55 on November 29 at $31. Consider from this draw.

Last start solid effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr6) over 2080m at Cranbourne was 7th-13.8m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 2.5 m by Bona Khan (2:34.90) in NR 50 to 55 on November 17 at $14. Two runs back tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.75 m (Fr1) held up early, at this track (2:08.30) beating Deuce Coupe in NR up to 50 on November 8 at $3.10 at the bell was 2nd-3.9m on the pegs. Should go well again.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr7) over 1720m after being wide early at this track, beaten 11 m by James Garner (2:02.10) in NR up to 55 on November 22 at $4.20. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 15 m as favourite (Fr2) at Swan Hill (2:46.00) beating Ive An Idea in 4yo+ MAIDEN on November 1 at $1.20 at the bell was leading 4.3m on the pegs. Contender.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
