Mellifluent opened up around $4.50 in betting behind Wyong-based early favourite Mogul Monarch ($3.50) who is deep into his prep, and coming off two second placings at Kembla.

Earlier in a meeting where there are many gallopers either resuming or having their first start, debutant filly Circle Of Love also emerges as a headline grabber for the Annabel Neasham and Rob Archibald stable.

Lining up for her first start in an open Super Maiden Hcp over 1000m, Circle Of Love appears well-fitted behind two progressive trials at her home Warwick Farm track.

Showing plenty of that tactical speed made famous by her prolific sire Exceed And Excel, Circle Of Love won the second of two trials comfortably by two lengths.

In what looms as a wider betting affair, she opened around the $4.40 mark, narrowly ahead of resuming duo, Randwick-based mare Rainbow Goddess and locally-trained filly Tequila Baby both priced around $5.00.
