SELECTIONS: KYVALLEY DIXON (1), ZIPPIN PAST (2), BUMPER CROP (8), ALDEBARAN EMJAY (4)

OVERVIEW: Wide-open heat for the two-year-trotting fillies where plenty have claims. KYVALLEY DIXON (1) looks a decent play given her good gate and recent form, which includes back-to-back wins at Melton in July and Maryborough just last week. She should settle in front or on the leader’s back, and would likely be going close on her best behaviour. ZIPPIN PAST (2) is first-up from a break, has the gate speed to challenge for the top and showed good ability with three front-running triumphs in her first campaign, while BUMPER CROP (8) is an unbeaten talent from the Antti Ruokonen stable who heads here on the back of a nice trial and big success in the rich Nutrien final at Wagga in late May. She beat three rivals (all made breaks) there that reoppose here and is a great chance. ALDEBARAN EMJAY (4) looked set to challenge KYVALLEY DIXON (1) for victory first-up at Maryborough, but galloped in the concluding stages and was relegated to third. They look the key hopes, but not much would surprise.
