Melton Race 7 - Angelique Club The Pearl Final
SOAP AND BUBBLES (2) is a lightly-raced but progressive filly who has won her last two outings at Bendigo, last time leading from this barrier before getting home by more than 8 metres. Expect her to push forward again so looks likely to land the hat trick. TIVOLI (3) has ground to make up on Soap Bubbles through her resuming second but she should strip fitter for that and has yet to miss the top-three so should perform well again. SASSY GABBY (5) had to work last start but is capable of more having scored a win three back at Cobram. Last-start placegetter FORESIGHT (1) can be competitive from the ace draw.

Looks well placed in this tougher race, but she was impressive winning last start [-+] won by 8 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at Bendigo (1:58.20) beating Tivoli in 0-4 WINS M on April 16 at $2.80 at the bell was leading 4.33. Promising and drawn to win again.
