Melton Race 6 - Benstud Standardbreds Pace
LOWRIDER (4) is a lightly-raced but progressive colt who hails from a leading yard. Raced just twice at the maiden campaign, winning here on debut before a second in a Vicbred heat. That was back in November but he is likely to have developed with maturity and was readied with a handy trial. Well placed for a winning return. SECRET SERVICE AGENT NZ (8) is racing well having led to score well at this circuit and distance before placing at Geelong last time. Draws for a trail so can perform well again. KEAYANG SEASIDE (5) continued her consistent form from last campaign when she came from the back row to place at Terang. That was her first outing for 10 months so it should have improved her and she won her lone second-up attempt. BULLETPROOF KID (7) made an encouraging return after three-and-a-half months when he led and stuck on for a 1.3m third at Cranbourne. Draws much wider but should strip fitter.

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at Geelong was 4th-9.86 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Fiction File (1:54.30) on July 17 at $41. Before that 9th (Fr4) over 1800m after showing early speed and racing wide at Globe Derby Park, beaten 50 m by The Reginator (2:10.70) on June 27 at $21. Must lift.

Resumes. At the latest first-up run 7th (Sr1) over 1609m at Geelong, beaten 15 m by Starzzz Destiny (1:55.40) on May 8 at $17. Has been sharpened up at the trials but may still need the run.

Resuming after a spell of nine months. Finished off last campaign when beaten by 7 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Soho Park Avenue at Bendigo over 2150m in a 2yo CG on November 5 at $8. Previous preparation first-up posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr6) at this track (2:04.60) beating Frosty Drop in 2yo on October 24 at $1.12. Promising and is well placed for a winning return.
