Melton Race 4 - Aldebaran Park Need For Speed Princess (3yo Fillies) (Heat)
HALLEBESOFINE (2) added to a string of wins and placings when she took out a Vicbred heat two back before a brave second in the Group 1 final, beaten just 1.5m. Hard to knock her recent consistency and she should get every chance from a low draw. JILLIBY AURA (4) had a second line draw when fifth in the Vicbred final but had led to win her heat when resuming here prior. Big chance back on the front row. HARPERSEVEN (5) was midfield in the Vicbred final at her latest appearance but had placed in her other two outings here off a spell and won the only time she attempted this shorter distance. ALDEBARAN ADA (8) draws for a trail and has won both previous third-up attempts so could find her best.

Well beaten last start by Majestic Yankee, who she meets again; when 70 metres sixth at Shepparton over 2190m in a 3yo race on August 25. Not keen on her chances in this line-up.

Failed to impress last 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. Showed ability the run before when she won by 2.25 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (2:46.70) beating Harperseven in 3yo on September 4 at $2.15 at the bell was leading 9.67. Big chance to return to winning form.

Broke again last start then managed to finish sixth over 2200m at Ballarat last time out. At the start before was well beaten after breaking at this track on September 4. Struggling with her manners but can be competitive if she gets it right.
