Melton Race 6

Vhrc Pace

Prize Money: $10,000

POPPY WAH WAH (9) resumes after 17 months on the sidelines but showed some very good form last campaign, winning four of his last six starts. Has trialled and hails from a top yard so expect he'll be ready to go. THUNDERFIRE (6) was outclassed in the Vicbred 4EG Super Series Final last start but did well for a 1.8m second in the heats prior. Goes well at this distance. This suits. SAVON DE ROCHE (3) continues to race well, placing in all four outings since recording back-to-back wins. This is the best draw she has had for a while so she could return to the winners' list. PLATINUM JIVE NZ (5) won fresh then came from the back row for second here last time. Go well again.

Last start 8th (Sr1) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 6th-8.16 beaten 10 m by Mighty Jolt (2:02.20) on September 26 at $23. Two runs back came from midfield and won by 1.4 m (Sr1) held up early, at Cranbourne (1:57.20) beating Just As Well in on September 6 at $11 at the bell was 4th-3.8. Hard to enthuse.

Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 2240m at this track beaten 24 m by Mount Barker Boy (2:40.60) on October 2 at $151. Before that, a solid effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway was 4th-16.6 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Wicked Confession (2:00.60) on August 14 at $11. Draws well so may improve.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 5 m third behind Keayang Viper at Terang over 2180m last start. Before that was beaten 2.5 metres third at this track over 1720m same class on August 29. Starts from a good draw and is a contender.

Before that, a game effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr5) over 2180m after racing wide at Kilmore was 6th-8.78 at the bell, beaten 1.75 m by I Am The Storm (2:38.90) in 4yo on September 10 at $26. Leading contender dropping in grade.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after a quick start, behind Blake Bolac at Geelong over 2100m on September 11 at $8. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Keayang Viper at Terang over 2180m on September 28 at $6. Consider.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Last start 2nd (Fr3) over 1790m after being wide early at Mildura, at the bell was 2nd-2.6 beaten a head by Neatntidy (2:12.20) on September 27 at $3.60. Two runs back won by a head (Sr3) at Mildura (2:13.30) beating Good Boots Bindi in on September 18 at $6.50 at the bell was 7th-10.4. This looks a sterner task.
