SELECTIONS: BETTOR BEACH (4), WILLOWS GIRL (2), THE QUEENS GAMBIT (7), RIPPLES (6)
OVERVIEW: BETTOR BEACH (4) is the short-priced favourite for the Group 1 Victoria Oaks and deservedly so. She won the G1 Vicbred Super Series Final for three-year-old fillies in effortless fashion back on September 13 and dominated her Oaks heat last weekend despite being put to pressure by THE QUEENS GAMBIT (7) with a sizzling 25.6 third quarter which she seemed to handle easily. She’s the one that has to go on top. There could be some fireworks early with RIPPLES (6) – who was able to cross WILLOWS GIRL (2) from similar draws before being run down by that rival in the other qualifier – likely to launch again. I’m not sure Mark Pitt did everything he could to hold RIPPLES (6) there, so perhaps WILLOWS GIRL (2) can dig up to hold out the early challenge with BETTOR BEACH (4) then likely to find the top. THE QUEENS GAMBIT (7) ran well in the heat from a back row draw and it’ll be interesting to see what she does now drawn on the front line, while RIPPLES (6) and SWEET IRISH LOCH (3) are the other leading hopes.
