OVERVIEW: Cracking start to the Vicbred Super Series for the two-year-old fillies, with a number of horses bringing in great form. SOHO ASTER (1) won a heat of the Gold Tiara before placing second in the Group 1 final, and returned from a freshen with a narrow victory at Menangle on August 18. She has good gate speed, a pole draw and might be the horse to beat from the front. DECOUPAGE (7) also brings impressive New South Wales form to Victoria. She was second on debut in the Pink Bonnet Stakes at Menangle in May and ran a great second in the $200,000 Nutrien series final at Wagga later that month before breaking her maiden first-up last Friday at Newcastle by a whopping 18.4m. She looks a key contender, as does TEERDEE (5) who is returning from a spell. She closed her last campaign with a midfield placing (after coming from a mile back at the bell) in the Nutrien final and ran a number of good races despite tough trips before that. DREAMS FOREVER (6), who failed after a tough run as favourite on debut at Maryborough on August 3, and LA CANTATRICE (2), who was very impressive winning the Youthful Stakes at Melton on August 15, are the other fancies.
