Melton Race 6 - Swift Signs Trot
WHATS THE TEA (7) backs up after showing good improvement for second at his most recent outing, beaten 5.3 metres in this grade at Cranbourne. Must overcome a very wide draw but if things go his way he can take this out without surprising. ALLWATFUNJINGLES (4) only beat one home last week but did have to work when parked. Drops in grade so looks better placed in this line-up. KALARNEY PRINCE (1) has been solid enough from wider barriers of late so is on the radar from the inside draw. HEART OF GRACELAND (5) is worth some thought after a couple of decent efforts when not too far off the placings.

Last start 6th (Fr3) over 1690m at Kilmore was 4th-5.61 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Jessicas Story (2:09.60) on July 2 at $16. At the run before 5th (Fr6) over 1720m after racing wide at this track, at the bell was leading 3.9 beaten 12 m by Jessicas Story (2:07.80) on June 26 at $21. Look for improvement on last start. Has the inside draw and should go well.

Didn't do much at the last run, surrendered the lead and finished 5th (Fr5) over 2080m after showing early speed at Cranbourne, beaten 70 m by Majestic Charma (2:36.80) on July 5 at $34. Before that 4th (Sr3) over 1650m at Bendigo was 7th-10.71 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Solotrekk (2:01.70) on July 1 at $151. Others make more appeal.

Didn't do much last time out, was well back in the run when 6th (Fr4) over 2190m after racing wide at Maryborough was 5th-12.8 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Aldebaran Jazmine (2:46.00) on June 29 at $151. Before that was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr4) over 1690m at Maryborough, beaten 21 m by Attracted (2:07.20) on June 17 at $13. Unlikely to threaten.
