Melton Race 3 - Apg Vicbred Super Series (3yo Trotting Fillies) (1st Heat)
HALLEBESOFINE (6) is a consistent filly who has been racing well against the boys, winning second-up at Geelong last month before placing in the G3 Holmfield here last start. Had similar barriers to this in both of those outings and she looks suited back against the fillies. IJUSTCANTSEEIT (9) started favourite when resuming but manners let her down. Produced some good efforts last time in including a Kilmore win before the spell so she is worth another chance. ADELAIDE RED (7) hit her peak and scoring a 2m win when third-up last start, taking her strike rate at this circuit and distance to 50 per cent. Draws wider but she is a G1 winner here and with even luck she could go on with it. JILLIBY RADIANCE (5) is an exotic hope off a last-start placing from this barrier at Shepparton.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Fling It Rainbow at Kilmore over 2180m on August 13 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind The Fiery Sunset at Maryborough over 2190m on August 24 at $5. From this draw she can go well again.

Last start 2nd (Fr4) over 1710m at Ballarat was 5th-14.57 at the bell, beaten 9 m by The Paso Doble (2:09.10) in 3yo on August 19 at $5.50.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth behind Spirited Lass at this track over 2240m on July 31 at $126. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Majestic Yankee at Shepparton over 2190m in a 3yo on August 25 at $11. Can be thereabouts.

Last start raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 2 m after showing early speed, (Fr5) at this track (2:48.50) beating Keayang Minnesota in on August 21 at $10 at the bell was 3rd-4.12. Strong contender.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr1) over 1710m at Ballarat, beaten 35 m by I Am Skye Chiola (2:08.70) on August 26 at $3.90. Showed ability the run before when she won by 6 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at Maryborough (2:07.20) beating The Paso Doble in 3yo on August 3 at $2.50 at the bell was leading 5.1. Can play a role.

Broke first-up beaten 40 m fifth after showing early speed, behind Majestic Yankee at Shepparton over 2190m in a 3yo on August 25. Will take a lot from that run and is a major player with manners.
