Melton Race 10 - APG VIC GOLD BULLION (3YO FILLIES) FINAL (GROUP 1)
Hard to go past JUST HOPE (1) from the ace draw. She is in fine form with four wins and a G1 second from her last five starts, that haul including her NSW Oaks success. Led from a wider draw when taking out her heat at Bendigo so can take full advantage of the barrier. PLAYING UP (3) made a good return when chasing Just Hope for a 4m second. She will be fitter for that and has won two of three attempts at this distance. Go well. OUR LITTLE JET (6) kept chasing for third behind the top two picks in the heats after scoring a narrow win when fresh at Maryborough. Peaking now and in the mix along with PETILLANTE (7) who will strip fitter second up and races well at this distance.
