Melt's unbeaten record isn't all that's going on the line at Ellerslie today.
The precocious daughter of Iffraaj will attempt to stretch her winning sequence to three in the Gr.1 Sistema Stakes (1200m) and Sydney beckons if she can successfully complete her hat-trick.
"If she won and was reasonably dominant, and came through it well, that's a serious option," trainer Nigel Tiley said.
"I've nominated her for the Sires' Produce Stakes at Randwick, it's a $1 million race and that would be the last run of her campaign."
Melt won the Listed Ashford Lodge Stakes (1100m) at Pukekohe on debut before she claimed the Gr.3 Eclipse Stakes (1200m) at Ellerslie on New Year's Day. She was then given a break and returned for a quiet trial over 1000m at Avondale last month.
