Melton Race 1

Australian Pacing Gold Pace

Prize Money: $17,500

SIR JIMMY (11) was brave in returning to the winners' list last time, coming from a similar barrier and racing three wide without cover before getting home by 2.8 metres. That was his fourth success from his last six starts and took his unbeaten record at this circuit and distance to four. Can do it again. SMOKEN ACE (6) chased a smart one when a 3.7m second here last start. Draws wider but beat SIR JIMMY home when fourth in the Listed City Of Melton Plate last month. Contender. ROCKANDANCE (8) must be considered having added to a series of top-four finishes with a 1.9m third here three weeks ago and draws for a trail. SWEETPASSION (7) is up in grade but must be respected after winning both starts since a spell. Something for the Multiples: SMOKEN ACE NZ (6)

Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (Fr3) over 1720m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was 7th-11.82 beaten 8 m by First Dance (2:00.80) in NR 80 to 89 on April 19 at $51. Before that 4th (Sr6) over 1720m after being wide early at this track, beaten 8 m by Let Her Roll (2:01.00) in NR up to 79 M on April 12 at $34. Facing a tough assignment.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Dukes Choice at this track over 2240m in a NR 70 to 79 on April 12 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Sweetpassion at this track over 1720m in a NR 70 to 79 on April 19 at $14. Forward performance expected.

Six-year-old gelding racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track and Ararat. Last start failed to make any headway until the straight; raced back and made ground from the turn; posted a big 3 m win as favourite (Sr2) at this track (2:01.00) beating Invitation Only in NR 70 to 79 on April 19 at $4.40 at the bell was 9th-17.34. Can maintain the good form.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Raging Whitebait at this track over 2240m in a NR 70 to 85 on March 22 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing third behind Rakero Slammer at this track over 1720m in a NR 80 to 89 on April 5 at $4.20. Go well again.

Last start 9th (Sr2) over 2240m at this track beaten 11 m by Fighter Command (2:40.10) in NR 80 to 89 on April 12 at $13. Before that, was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr7) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 10th-14.59 beaten 4 m by Rakero Slammer (2:01.50) in NR 80 to 89 on April 5 at $4.20. Tricky draw but he can feature with luck.
