Talented harness racing star Berisari continued her rise to the top with an impressive victory at Tabcorp Park Melton last night.
Making her debut against open class mares, Berisari scored an impressive win with Nathan Jack in the cart.
After trailing the pacemaker, Bettor Downunder, Berisari finished swiftly along the sprint lane to complete a three-and-a-half metre win from the leader.
The Good Times – a stablemate of the winner – was a metre away third.
Completing a hat-trick in the process, the daughter of Safari rated 1:57.7 for the 2240 metres.
Thrilled with the four-year-old’s performance, trainer Emma Stewart believes Berisari is primed for a highly successful campaign.
“She showed she was up with the best of her age last season and has come back in sensation form this time around,” Stewart said. “We couldn’t be happier with the way she is going.
“She was only beaten a short half-head in last year’s Sires’ Final and that will be her main target this time in.
“She is a wonderful mare, which should continue to get better with racing and age.”
