The mare has struck a purple patch of form since being tried over ground and will prove hard to beat again in today's 2000m RB68 handicap.

Prepared by Greg Eurell, the four year daughter of God's Own was warming up to a win in her initial campaign, placing at her last two runs when tried to a mile before a spell.

She resumed over 1400m at Sale and after drifting back found the line well to finish third, before stepping up to a mile at Ballarat.

There she struck a slow track and after settling midfield ground home well to finish fourth.

Heavenly Dawn raced at a mile again next start but on firmer footing at Cranbourne.

Meeting a small field she settled fourth but quickly loomed up straightening and ran right away with a four length win.

Returning to Cranbourne last time but over 2025m for the first time, she drew wide and settled just worse than midfield.

But she again proved superior in the run home, coming from worse than midfield to score a length win.

Today the mare rises another notch in terms of class but isn't penalised at the weights.

She has drawn well in barrier one and no doubt further improved again.

The mare looks the hardest to hold out again.

The Lee and Shannon Hope trained Eclipse Rouge is an ultra consistent type who should be in the finish again.

The mare placed four on end, the latter here at this trip when beaten a nose, before breaking through for a long overdue win.

That was over 2040m at Moonee Valley where she settled off the speed but loomed up and drew clear with a 2.8 length win.

She returned to Moonee Valley last time in this class but tougher grade and after settled midfield ground home strongly to finish third, albeit 5.6 lengths from the easy winner Umatain.

She will find this easier and has run well here at this distance.

She drops in weight and has drawn well and with her honest record at the journey looks a leading each way contender again.

Zatopek Lane is another consistent type who is expected to run well.

The colt is yet to miss a place in five runs, placing at his first two before a spell.

Resuming over 1425m at Geelong he sat third and worked home soundly to finish runner up, the stepped up to a mile at Bendigo and shared the speed before battling on well for third.

Last start, to 2000m at Mornington, he settled midfield and worked home strongly to score a neck win.

He can only be fitter again and with a lighter weight and a good draw should be prominent throughout again.

Wannajewel tired after leading in tougher grade last time but back in this class should give a big sight.
