Melton Race 7 - Apg Vicbred Super Series (2yo Fillies) (3rd Heat)
ONELOOK (2) has been in the placings two times from as many appearances this campaign. Produced yet another strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 2240m at this track, adding to a string of recent minor placings. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. KAHULA (1) will appreciate the step back from Group One level after finishing third at her latest appearance over 1660m at Albion Park, beaten a head by Havtimemajor. Should enjoy a lovely run and looks hard to beat again. LATHER ME UP (7) did well to finish third last start in a Group One over 1730m at Bathurst, beaten 15 metres by Birdsong. Ready to make a bright return. WESTERIA (4) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when third at this track over 2240m.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr3) over 2240m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 17 m by La Cantatrice (2:43.60) in 2yo on August 15 at $6. Two runs back won by 2 m after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Launceston (2:01.90) beating Mystery Mail in 2yo on July 19 at $3.30. Will find this tougher.

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up won by 4 m as favourite (Fr2) at Leeton (2:10.50) beating Ezzra in 2yo on March 10 at $3. Is a first-up winner in the past and looks a top chance.
