Melton Race 5 - Apg Vicbred Super Series (3yo Trotting Fillies) (3rd Heat)
JILLIBY AURA (2) is a handy filly who was last seen when placed at Listed level in May having finished a close second in the NSW Oaks earlier in the campaign. Yet to miss a place in four attempts at this circuit and distance, winning twice. Kicked off last campaign with a win and a good draw can see her do that again. HARPERSEVEN (3) will be fitter for her resuming third from a wider barrier. Showed her ability in winning the Vicbred Super Series Final last season and races well when second-up so should progress. MAJESTIC YANKEE (7) has won both times she has trotted cleanly this time in including a 22m romp at this circuit and distance. Player with manners. SO SKEPTICAL (9) draws on the back row but can trail the top pick and is showing some promise having been beaten less than 2m in her two starts so far.

Having her second run back from a spell. Good run despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 2240m at this track, at the bell was 4th-6.12 beaten 4 m by Adelaide Red (2:48.50) on August 21 at $3.40. May be hard to beat with that run under her belt.
