Melton Race 5 - Australian Pacing Gold Mares Pace

TWIGSTAR (4) is showing promise. Made a winning debut two starts back then kept the momentum going at her latest appearance at Cranbourne, leading and scoring comfortably by more than 19 metres. Can continue to work through her grades. ARZALI ROCKSTAR (3) recorded back-to-back seconds at this venue before a deserved win at Geelong last start, drawing wider and racing parked before arriving 1.3 metres ahead of her rivals. No excuses from this advantageous draw so another strong showing is on the cards. SANDELTON (7) cops his toughest draw yet but is impossible to knock having kicked off his career with back-to-back wins here. BLACKINDEED (6) improved to place last start and can progress further third up.

Solid run when a close second after a quick start, behind Cool Story at Ballarat over 2200m on October 7 at $4.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Lenard Ess at Geelong over 1609m on October 16 at $6.50. Rates highly. Draws well and is ticking along well.

Looks well placed in this tougher race, but she was impressive winning last start [-+] posted a big 19 m win (Fr3) at Cranbourne (2:31.30) beating Letitrideluv in 3yo on October 4 at $2.10 at the bell was leading 3.4. Can maintain her perfect record.

Good run when beaten by 5.5 m finishing sixth after being driven well back, behind Yankee Mojoh at this track over 1720m in a M on September 25 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 10 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Billys Tiger Khan at Ballarat over 2200m on October 15 at $10. Further improvement to come so worth following.

Brings the right form to the table. Raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 1.3 m when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (2:44.30) beating Arzali Rockstar in 3yo on October 9 at $4.60 at the bell was 3rd-4.09. Two runs back tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr1) at this track (2:47.30) beating Captain Hank in 3yo on September 25 at $2.40 at the bell was 2nd-4.42. Draws wide but hard to knock what he has done so far.
