Melton Race 2 - Hygain Edge Pace
SPUN SILVER (6) produced a good effort last time out when she led and stuck on for third at Geelong, beaten 3 metres. Has only once missed a place in her last eight starts and was a Kilmore winner three back. Her recent form is good enough to put her right in the finish. TED BEAR (10) may need some luck from this barrier but he has some good form under the belt including a Ballarat win last month. Both career wins have come at this distance. HURRICANE HOOLY (3) draws well and is on the radar after another good showing from the back row at Kilmore nine days ago, adding to a series of top-four results. FLIGHT LOUTENANT (9) broke last start but was in the minor placings in the previous two outings. The lone career win came at this distance. Chance with manners and even luck.

Last start 5th (Fr3) over 1609m after being wide early at Cranbourne was 3rd-3.6 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Olly Odd Potts (1:58.50) on October 18 at $10. Two runs back 6th (Sr3) over 1609m at Cranbourne was 6th-7.6 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Reason To Laugh (2:00.40) on October 4 at $7.50. Draws the inside but it has been a long while between drinks so happy to overlook.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after showing early speed, behind Roblen Demon at Cranbourne over 2080m on October 4 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Quick Crunch at Cranbourne over 2080m on October 18 at $4.20. Heading the right way and draws well.

Last start was well beaten into fourth behind Wheres Wood Wood at Kilmore over 2180m on October 14 at $5. Raced better the start before that with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 2200m at Ballarat was 5th-8.97 at the bell, beaten 4.5 m by Cool Story (2:44.30) on October 7 at $16. A good draw can see her continue the consistent form.

4th (Fr6) over 1710m at Ballarat was 8th-11.24 at the bell, beaten 5 m by Wichita Kansas (2:04.80) on October 15 at $26. Before that 10th (Fr2) over 2200m at Horsham beaten 30 m by Yankee Rain (2:44.10) on October 5 at $81. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Regal Rock at Maryborough over 1690m on October 12 at $23. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 1710m at Ballarat was 6th-10.85 at the bell, beaten 2 m by Our Pinup Girl (2:03.00) on October 1 at $5. Can make an impact with even luck from the back row.
