Melton Race 6 - Nevele R Stud Pace

JILLIBY ILLUMINATE NZ (7) finished second last start over 1690m at Kilmore, beaten a nose, after also filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 2200m at Ballarat. Must overcome a very wide draw. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. SOAP AND BUBBLES (8) will appreciate the step back from Group One level after finishing third at her latest appearance over 2760m at this track, beaten 5 metres by Soho Americano. Ready to make a bright return. MY LITTLE BO (6) is in the mix following a respectable third at her most recent appearance over 1690m at Kilmore. MADRIGAL NZ (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 2.75 metres at Mt Gambier over 2190m.
