Melton Race 4 - Apg Vicbred Super Series (3yo Trotting Fillies) (2nd Heat)

ALDEBARAN ADA (1) finished off last campaign with back-to-back wins, the latest in the Listed Nutrien Classic Sales Series Final in May. Yet to win fresh but she was readied with a trial and should enjoy a soft run from the ace draw. GLADIATRIX (2) hasn't raced since she placed in the 3YO Trot NSW Final at Menangle two months ago but has been readied with two trials. Accomplished filly who beat ALDEBARAN ADA in winning the NSW Oaks earlier in the year. Big chance from a good draw. QUEEN OF SEES (5) is a lightly-raced but progressive filly who kicked off last campaign with back-to-back wins and should be wound up for another strong return. PURPLE MOON (7) is consistent and worth including in exotics.

Two back was well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Superior Stride at Menangle over 2300m in a 3yo on June 13 at $4. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Cee Cee In Paris at Menangle over 1609m in a G2 on July 4 at $1.55. Smart filly with strong claims from a good draw.

Racing consistently with minor placings at her last two starts. Placed last start 3rd (Fr1) over 1710m after showing early pace at Ballarat, beaten 10 m by I Choose You (2:07.20) on August 26 at $8. Before that was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr5) over 1710m at Ballarat, beaten 1.75 m by Black And Gold (2:08.90) on August 19 at $71. Will find this a lot tougher.

Returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Hillwinsome at this track over 1720m on June 26 at $1.75. Previous preparation first-up ran on from midfield and won by 7 m as favourite (Fr2) at Bendigo (2:02.40) beating Jilliby Radiance in 3yo 10 0K on May 20 at $1.50. Has won when fresh before and may be tough to beat.
