Race comment
OVERVIEW: SPIRITED BELLE (6) has secured two runaway victories in just three starts since coming from New Zealand with her only other attempt being a fourth after she worked hard in the run. She recorded handy time at her Ararat victory last week and she will prove hard to beat again. MELINKA (4) was shuffled back to midfield in the running lane at the 1400m and worked to the line quite well when third in a handy race at Shepparton last week. She is racing consistently and should be suited against this class so she is worth following. HER HEART OF GOLD (5) pushed forward to race without cover in the early stages, endured a tough run in a mile rate of 1.55.9 and faded into ninth at Geelong ($2-50 fav). She led throughout at Melton prior and she will be looking for a forward position again. DOUBLE O HEAVEN (7) failed to run on after pulling hard mid-race when ninth at Wedderburn last outing. She led when a close third at Hamilton prior and she has the speed to be in the finish. CASSIOPEIA (1) and RIGHTEOUSLY (2) are both worth thought in multiple combinations. EARLY SPEED: 6 (possible leader), 1,5 RATINGS: 6/ 4,5/ 7/ 1,2/ 3

Race comment
OVERVIEW: SPIRITED BELLE (6) has secured two runaway victories in just three starts since coming from New Zealand with her only other attempt being a fourth after she worked hard in the run. She recorded handy time at her Ararat victory last week and she will prove hard to beat again. MELINKA (4) was shuffled back to midfield in the running lane at the 1400m and worked to the line quite well when third in a handy race at Shepparton last week. She is racing consistently and should be suited against this class so she is worth following. HER HEART OF GOLD (5) pushed forward to race without cover in the early stages, endured a tough run in a mile rate of 1.55.9 and faded into ninth at Geelong ($2-50 fav). She led throughout at Melton prior and she will be looking for a forward position again. DOUBLE O HEAVEN (7) failed to run on after pulling hard mid-race when ninth at Wedderburn last outing. She led when a close third at Hamilton prior and she has the speed to be in the finish. CASSIOPEIA (1) and RIGHTEOUSLY (2) are both worth thought in multiple combinations. EARLY SPEED: 6 (possible leader), 1,5 RATINGS: 6/ 4,5/ 7/ 1,2/ 3

She led throughout at Melton prior and she will be looking for a forward position again. DOUBLE O HEAVEN (7) failed to run on after pulling hard mid-race when ninth at Wedderburn last outing. She led when a close third at Hamilton prior and she has the speed to be in the finish. CASSIOPEIA (1) and RIGHTEOUSLY (2) are both worth thought in multiple combinations. EARLY SPEED: 6 (possible leader), 1,5 RATINGS: 6/ 4,5/ 7/ 1,2/ 3
