Melton Race 9 - Prydes Easifeed Victoria Oaks (2nd Heat)
BETTOR BEACH (2) went through the Vicbred Super Series undefeated, taking advantage of the ace draw to cruise home by 13m in the final here last start. First try at this longer distance but she has the speed to go forward from another good draw. That should see her hard to catch. THE QUEENS GAMBIT NZ (8) suffered her first defeat in Australia when she placed behind a star colt last start. Had looked good in easy wins at Menangle and Bathurst prior. Draws to trail the top pick and she has the talent to challenge. KEAYANG PASSION (6) has placed in all four starts this time in including the Vicbred Final when third to BETTOR BEACH. Came from a similar draw to this for second to a smart filly last start. Can be in the finish again. Looks a gap to the rest with RACHELS LEGACY (4) next in line.

Two runs back 2nd (Sr5) over 2240m at this track, at the bell was 7th-9.02 beaten 1.4 m by Alot Like Jeannie (2:43.90) in 3yo on September 18 at $7.50. Rough place hope from this draw.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 13 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (2:39.40) beating Pre Eminant in 3yo G1 on September 12 at $1.10 at the bell was leading 0.28. Two runs back ran on from midfield and won by 9 m (Sr4) at this track (2:44.00) beating Pre Eminant in 3yo on September 5 at $2.15 at the bell was 4th-5.6. The low draw gives her every chance to win again.

Up 1080m after a handy effort last time; 3rd (Sr3) over 1680m at Terang was 3rd-5.6 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Imagination Oro (2:01.40) on September 28 at $2.70. Raced well last start but from this draw she has the job ahead. Not as keen on her chances in this line-up.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Bettor Beach at this track over 2240m in a 3yo G1 on September 12 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second behind Willows Girl at this track over 2240m in a 3yo on September 26 at $9. Can play a role in the finish again.

Well beaten last start by Bettor Beach, who she meets again; when 25 metres eighth at this track over 2240m in a 3yo G1 race on September 12. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Last start game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 6th-16.11 beaten 11 m by Loucasso (1:49.90) in 3yo on September 19 at $9.50. Two runs back won by 9 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at Bathurst (2:03.70) beating Judah Red in on September 9 at $1.17 at the bell was leading 3.78. Draws for a trail and looks a danger.

Didn't do much last time out, broke in score up and was out of position at the start 9th (Fr3) over 1609m at Charlton was 10th-14.6 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Topsies Bling (1:55.80) on September 21 at $3.70. Before that 6th (Fr3) over 2240m at this track beaten 23 m by Bettor Beach (2:39.40) in 3yo G1 on September 12 at $151. This looks out of her reach.
