Melton Race 2

Dynamic Print Group Pace

Prize Money: $4,000

ILLAWONG PHOENIX (9) scored by 5.5 metres at Kilmore over 1690m last start, the second win from her past three appearances. Meets a comparable field so she can certainly make it two on the bounce. PRECIOUS BELLE NZ (8) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1720m at this track. Should run a big race. CAMNAT (4) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 1720m at this track on July 25. Something for the Multiples: ANGEL OF ANGER (3)

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Allheartnoheight at Cranbourne over 2080m in a NR up to 39 on July 27 at $2.70. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Ellava Pacer at Kilmore over 2180m in a NR up to 36 on July 31 at $2.80. One of the better chances.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Fair Chance at this track over 1720m in a NR 36 to 40 on July 25 at $3.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Home And Dry at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 39 on August 1 at $1.60. Nicely drawn and expected to measure up again.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third behind Yankee Gambler at Ballarat over 1710m in a NR up to 45 on July 24 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Written In Silk at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 45 on August 1 at $34. Has the ability to take this out.

Racing in great heart. Last start won from midfield and won by 5.5 m as favourite (Fr5) at Kilmore (2:04.20) beating Rolling Remona in NR 37 to 42 on July 31 at $1.90 at the bell was 2nd-2.31. Big chance again.

Comes here second-up after two weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when was well back in the run when 8th (Fr7) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 10th-18.24 beaten 19 m by Star Ruler (2:06.30) in NR up to 45 on July 25 at $18. Hard to make a case in this field.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Didn't do much last time out, broke in score up and was out of position at the start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr5) over 1720m at this track was 8th-12.95 at the bell, beaten 15 m by Home And Dry (2:06.20) in NR up to 39 on August 1 at $51. Before that broke in score up and was out of position at the start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr5) over 1609m at Geelong beaten 8 m by Dot Ball (2:00.50) in NR up to 46 on July 18 at $31. Hard to have on those efforts.
