SELECTIONS: JILLIBY DREAMLOVER (3), HOPPY (9), LOVEMETO (7), GATESYS GEM (2)
OVERVIEW: Great edition of the VL Dullard Trotters Cup and I’m looking to JILLIBY DREAMLOVER (3), who I think can cross early and control the race from the top. She was well beaten by GATESYS GEM (2) in a heat and Group 1 final of the Vicbred Super Series for four-year-old trotting mares recently, but drew on the back line where she wasn’t able to use her blistering gate speed. On the fence, she’s a very good trotter who won two big features in Queensland during winter before galloping late and dropping out of the Inter Dominion Grand Final. HOPPY (9) had the perfect trip and sprinted past subsequent McNamara Memorial Trotters Cup winner Imperial Monarch to score a fortnight ago while beating LOVEMETO (7), who battled to get into things over the sprint trip from a bad gate first-up. He can certainly win back up over 2240m second-up. GATESYS GEM (2) is favourite after winning the Vicbred final and should be leader or leader’s back here, while GOTFEELINGSYOUKNOW (6) is the other key hope and returns after a runner-up placing in the Inter Dom decider behind Gus.
