Melton Race 11

Lifestyle Communities Woodlea 3Yo Pace

Prize Money: $15,000

VINEY (6) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 1609m at Geelong. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. CALEXICO (7) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 2240m at this track, beaten a neck. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Big chance based on those recent efforts. FORTY LOVE (8) returns from a spell of 12 weeks. Honest type who has won first-up in the past. Best figures read well, so a winning return is on the cards. IN AN IDEAL WORLD (3) is the next elect off a last-start win by 13 metres at this track over 1720m.

Last start 3rd (Fr7) over 2200m after showing early pace at Ballarat beaten 3.5 m by Are Weasley (2:46.20) in 3yo+ MAIDEN on June 5 at $10. Two runs back 10th (Sr3) over 1609m at Geelong, beaten 23 m by Send In Elvis (1:58.40) in MAIDEN on May 16 at $2.90. Not as keen on her chances in this field.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following May 14 run. Last start won by 1.3 m as favourite (Sr3) at Horsham (2:46.60) beating She Will Wantano in NR up to 49 on May 28 at $1.75 at the bell was 3rd-11.4. This race will be harder than that win. Hard to have in this line-up.
