Melton Race 8 - Prydes Easifeed Victoria Oaks (1st Heat)
WILLOWS GIRL (2) is a talented filly who was good enough to overcome a wide barrier for a resuming win at this venue. She should be better for the outing and she has the speed to take full advantage of the low draw so will be tough to stop. RIPPLES NZ (7) is back from a hit-and run trip to NZ where she came from a wide barrier for third at Alexandra Park. That was her first outing since she came from the back row to win July's Queensland Oaks. May need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position but she is tough. PRE EMINANT (6) is a consistent filly who added to a string of top-two results when she came from the back row for second in the Vicbred final. She can be in the finish again. DELIZIOSO (1) was first up for 11 months when she came from a wide barrier to miss narrowly fresh. Fitter and is aided by the ace draw.

Three-year-old filly who is racing well. Good first up, won by 2.5 m as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at this track (2:45.20) beating Keayang Passion in 3yo on September 26 at $1.55 at the bell was 2nd-1.49. Draws well and looks hard to beat with that run under her belt.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following September 5 run. Last start won by 1.4 m (Sr2) at this track (2:43.90) beating Maurlen Compass in 3yo on September 18 at $3.70 at the bell was leading 0.96. This race will be harder than that win. Place best.

Last start 3rd (Fr3) over 2100m after showing early pace at Eugowra, at the bell was 3rd-4.5 beaten 1.5 m by Emerging Deal (2:36.20) in 3yo+ on September 27 at $3.50. Two runs back 5th (Fr1) over 2270m after showing early pace at Riverina Paceway, at the bell was 7th-12.9 beaten 13 m by Neptunite (2:42.60) on September 18 at $9. Will not find this easy. Not as keen on her chances in this field.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Bettor Beach at this track over 2240m in a 3yo G1 on September 12 at $51. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Willows Girl at this track over 2240m in a 3yo on September 26 at $5.50. Could be competitive again.
