Melton Race 5 - Apg Vicbred Super Series (2yo Fillies) (1st Heat)
SOHO ASTER (1) scored at the first run back from a break last time out over 1609m at Menangle on August 18, finishing a neck ahead of her rivals. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Has the talent to make it two on end to kick of the prep. DECOUPAGE (7) scored by 18 metres at Newcastle over 1609m last start at her first run back from a spell. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Has the talent to make it back-to-back wins to kick off the prep. DREAMS FOREVER (6) was beaten 19 metres on debut last start over 2190m at Maryborough. Has plenty of scope for improvement. LA CANTATRICE (2) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 2.5 metres at this track over 2240m.

Resumed from a 143-day break with a strong win by a neck as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at Menangle (1:56.00) beating Gunnareason in 2yo on August 18 at $1.25. Fitter and expected to feature again.

Scored at her last two starts. Last start won by 2.5 m when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at this track (2:43.60) beating Onelook in 2yo on August 15 at $3.20. Hard to leave out on current form. Capable of taking out this plain affair.

Resumes. At the latest first-up run 8th (Fr4) over 1730m after showing early pace at Bathurst, beaten 80 m by Gunnareason (2:04.90) in 2yo F on March 18 at $2.90. Will be better for this run and happy to watch this time.

Resuming after a layoff of three months. Well beaten at the end of her last preparation when sixth at very long odds behind Kahula. Likely to need the run.
