Menangle Race 6 - Success Stud Nsw Oaks Heat 1
RIPPLES NZ (6) made a successful hit-and-run raid to NZ when overcoming a back row draw to score at Cambridge last start. That continued a string of wins and placings including a second in the Gold Bracelet from this barrier two back at Bathurst. Hasn't missed the top-three at this circuit and distance. Big chance. WILLOWS GIRL (5) is three from three this time in. Had this draw when beating Ripples in the Gold Bracelet two back and worked but was too good for the boys at Bendigo since. Could add to the winning streak. PERFECTDELIGHT (8) has been performing well without the best of luck this time in. Pushed the good filly Sparkling Sea when beaten a nose in the Golden Easter Egg last start. Draws wider but she is going well. ALWAYSBJOY NZ (10) faces a class test and wide draw won't help but she has been powering through her grades in Brisbane, winning her last four at Albion Park. STRIPES (3) is another progressing well in Queensland. Draws better than her stablemate so can be competitive.

Racing consistently with minor placings at her last two starts. Placed last start 3rd (Sr1) over 2138m at Albion Park, beaten 6 m by Ima Booty Shaker (2:38.50) in Up to 3 LTW on April 17 at $6. Before that 3rd (Fr6) over 1660m at Albion Park, beaten 3.5 m by Sweet Dior (1:57.80) in Up to 3 LTW on April 10 at $4.60. This looks too much of a step up in class.

Has won at her last four outings. Last start won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr3) at Albion Park (1:55.60) beating Stripes in 2-3yo+ wins on April 7 at $1.33. Hard to leave out on current form. Draws wide and faces a class test but brings strong form from Brisbane.
