OVERVIEW: This is the sole heat of the Need For Speed Princess series for three-year-old trotting fillies, which leads to a Group 1 final at Melton on October 10. HALLEBESOFINE (2) draws to find the front and based off her recent efforts, she looks the one to beat. She worked to the top and boxed on bravely for second in the Group 1 Vicbred Super Series final last time out, beating home five rivals that reoppose here. Before that, she won a heat in dominant fashion and has been in great form this entire campaign. JILLIBY AURA (4) led and won another heat of that Vicbred series in good style and then raced in the breeze when fifth in the final behind Queen Of Sees. There’s a chance she launches to the fence early and would be a genuine threat from there. HARPERSEVEN (5) finished second to JILLIBY AURA (4) in the qualifier and ran well from back in the field in the final, as did MAJESTIC YANKEE (6), who is only an outside winning hope but one to consider for trifectas and First 4s along with ALDEBARAN ADA (8), IJUSTCANTSEEIT (1), last-start Vicbred Silver winner ZOOLU (3) and even MEVIA (10). 

BACK: HALLEBESOFINE (2) – 4 units
