Melton Race 7 - Aldebaran Park Need For Speed Princess (3yo Fillies) Final (Group 1)
HALLEBESOFINE (7) was beaten narrowly into second as a hot favourite in the heats but that continued a long run of wins and placings including a second in the Vicbred final prior so she is a filly in form. Draws wide but she is reliable and has the class to win this if things go her way. JILLIBY AURA (2) led and faded last time but she is much better than that. Came from this barrier for a resuming win here last month. Well up to winning this with her A-game. HARPERSEVEN (5) didn't miss by much from this barrier in the heat and won her only other attempt at this distance. ALDEBARAN ADA (4) drew on the back row and raced parked when fourth in the heat, beaten 4 metres. Back on the front row and can be competitive.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 8th (Fr4) over 1720m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was leading 2.32 beaten 11 m by Amira (2:05.90) in 3yo on September 25 at $3.10. At the previous start 5th (Sr2) over 2240m at this track was 2nd-1.89 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Queen Of Sees (2:45.50) in 3yo G1 on September 12 at $8.50. Draws well so expecting a much better run this time.

Last start 6th (Sr4) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 5th-13.79 beaten 8 m by Amira (2:05.90) in 3yo on September 25 at $34. Two runs back then managed to finish sixth over 2200m at Ballarat last time out. Not keen on her chances in this line-up.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Queen Of Sees at this track over 2240m in a 3yo G1 on September 12 at $12. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Amira at this track over 1720m in a 3yo on September 25 at $12. Contender.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following August 25 run. Just managed to hang on and win came from midfield and won by a head (Fr1) held up early, at this track (2:05.90) beating Hallebesofine in 3yo on September 25 at $71 at the bell was 7th-20.08. This race will be harder than that win. Wider draw so doubt she can win again.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Amira at this track over 1720m 3yo last start. Before that was beaten 1.5 metres second again at this track over 2240m in 3yo G1 on September 12. Reliable filly with strong claims.
