Mellow Park burst into the Vodafone Oaks picture with a runaway win at Goodwood today. The filly, an unfancied 10-1 shot after finishing fifth in a maiden on her only previous start, trounced her five rivals in the Listed Victor Chandler Lupe Stakes. She is now quoted as short as 12-1 for the Epsom Classic after showing a smart turn of speed to lead two furlongs out and then quicken well clear, scoring by 11 lengths from favourite Kootenay.
Trainer Jeremy Noseda's Spinette finished second in the Musidora Stakes at York last week and the trainer is planning to run both her and Mellow Park in the Vodafone Oaks.
