Melody Belle On Song

The NZ Racing Desk reports:

Leading two-year-old Melody Belle will be chasing a transtasman Group One double in Brisbane later this year.

The Manawatu Sires' Produce Stakes winner has been set for the JJ Atkins, a race won last year by Sacred Elixir, at Eagle Farm on June 10.

“She'll have a trial and then run in the QTC Sires' Produce Stakes two weeks before the Atkins,” said Jamie Richards, who trains the Commands filly with Stephen Autridge.

Melody Belle also won the Karaka Million at Ellerslie during her summer campaign.
