SELECTIONS: HALLEBESOFINE (7), JILLIBY AURA (2), ALDEBARAN ADA (4), HARPERSEVEN (5)
OVERVIEW: HALLEBESOFINE (7) was beaten as a short-priced favourite in the one and only heat of the Need For Speed Princess series at Melton on September 25, but it was a massive run in defeat and she’s the obvious favourite here despite the wide gate. In a race ultimately won by outsider AMIRA (6) – who scooted home best from well back on the fence – HALLEBESOFINE (7) worked hard early before letting JILLIBY AURA (2) find the top, and then sat parked to her in the last lap before only going down in the shadows of the post. JILLIBY AURA (2) dropped out sharply late to be beaten into eighth but draws for an easier lead here and is the danger, while ALDEBARAN ADA (4), HARPERSEVEN (5) and winner AMIRA (6) all ran well and are probably the other leading hopes.
