Melton Race 8 - Mimosa Homes Mares Free For All

RAKERO REBEL (6) enjoyed the return to her own sex when a 1.8m winner here last time. She mixed it with the country's best mares in Sydney earlier in the campaign, highlighted by a Queen Elizabeth II Mile placing last month. With even luck from the wide draw she can go back-to-back. SWEET BELLA (2) was less than 2m behind Rakero Rebel last start and beat that rival home in their previous clash over this longer journey. Owns a good strike rate at this longer distance. Big chance from the low draw. KISS (7) has come from the back row for a win and a second in two starts since a spell. Draws deep but has won three of five attempts over the distance here. JILLIBY WILLOW (5) hasn't raced for six-and-a-half months but put together a string of wins last time in. Trialling well and has yet to miss a place when fresh. SAHARA BREEZE (3) draws well enough to be competitive again.

Last start was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr2) over 2240m at this track, beaten 5.5 m by Beat Sweet (2:44.10) in NR 80 to 89 on June 14 at $19. Two runs back 5th (Sr2) over 1720m at this track beaten 6 m by Rakero Slammer (2:00.90) in NR 75 to 89 on June 7 at $18. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Eye Keep Smiling at Menangle over 1609m in a G1 No NR M on May 10 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.75 m finishing second behind Rakero Rebel at this track over 1720m in a No NR on June 7 at $10. Another bold showing expected.
