Race 3 - YABBY DAM RACING BREEDERS CROWN SERIES 20 (3YO TROTTING FILLIES) FINAL (GROUP 1)

While Australia possesses an even, competitive group of classic-age trotting fillies the lack of a genuine standout was always going to leave ‘us’ vulnerable to a star Kiwi invader and based on her PGG Wrightson Yearling Sale success three starts back at Addington OUR SHOW GAIT (5) is that quality Kiwi. On that occasion she sat back and displayed an exceptional turn of speed to overwhelm outstanding rivals. Here she can be on the premises soon after the start, control the race and simply outclass inferior rivals. Of the local contingent PRETTY MAJESTIC (2) and MOONSHINE LINDA (8) look clearly best placed to upset the fave. MOONSHINE LINDA (8) has defeated PRETTY MAJESTIC (2) at their last two meetings including the Vicbred Super Series final but given she’s almost certain to lead – at least initially – PRETTY MAJESTIC (2) looks slightly more likely than her recent conqueror to upset the apple cart. Beyond them Each Way hopes go to the mercurial but very gifted THE GREAT REDEEMER (13) who has form both here and back in NZ behind OUR SHOW GAIT (5) along with MOONLIGHT DREAM (11) who can improve sharply off the back of her first run for six weeks last start and PARISIAN OPERA (1) who will relish the perfect polemarking draw.
