Melton Race 5

Nutrien Equine Classic Race Series 4 (3Yo Fillies) (1St Heat)

Stake: $11,000

BEACH DIAMOND (6) hasn't raced since she kicked off her career with an easy win at Hobart last June but has been readied with a series of trials. Hails from a leading yard and should have developed with maturity. GALAXY LASS (3) has had two months off but has been readied with a nice trial and has some strong form lines. Scored three back at Ballarat and finished fourth behind subsequent Group winners in her next two starts here. Strikes at 50 per cent at this distance. Strong claims from a good draw. MY ULTIMATE SASSY (4) is in form having toughed it out for a last-start Geelong win. Go well again. WE DEALIN DIAMONDS (2) came from wider for a resuming second at Wagga last start and won her only other outing. Fitter and has upside.

Racing in great heart. Last start won by a nose when quickly away, (Fr2) at Geelong (1:57.60) beating Viney in NR 50 to 54 on March 21 at $9 at the bell was leading 2m on the pegs. In form and could go on with it.

Three-year-old filly facing the starter for the second time. At debut 5th (Fr1) over 1690m at Kilmore, at the bell was 5th-9.4 beaten 8 m by Divine Tilly (2:08.50) in 3yo+ MAIDEN on March 27 at $31. Needs easier.

Three-year-old filly facing the starter for the second time. Won at debut when a big 14 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr6) at Hobart (1:57.00) beating Isla Athena in 2yo MAIDEN F on June 16 at $1.07 at the bell was leading 4.4. Strong claims.

Comes here second-up after two weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at Geelong beaten 23 m by Techy Creed (1:56.10) in 0-1 WIN on March 21 at $26. Facing a tough assignment.
