Melton Race 8 - Lifestyle Deanside Pace

BLISSFULL LILLY (10) draws wide but has been racing well of late. Led and fought on well for second two back at Geelong then finished only 4.6 metres away at her latest appearance at Ballarat. If things go her way she can find her winning ways. ALLHEARTNOHEIGHT (5) hasn't been far from the placings of late, beaten just over 5m into fourth at her latest appearance at Shepparton. Contender. RIVER PATROL (3) has been coming from wider or second row barriers of late so can improve from this draw. VERY TEMPTING (7) returns to the front row and is in the mix with his A-game.
