With the Australasian Breeders Crown finals at Tabcorp Park Melton almost upon us, Harnesslink has decided to do a preview of all the finals.
This peview is of the IMV Technologies three year old trotting fillies final.
1) Vari Perfect (Armbro Variable) Starts 9 – Wins 0 – Seconds 0 – Thirds 2 – Stakes $2878
Nine start maiden who is on the improve but the depth of this field makes things difficult.Even from the draw it is hard to make a case for her.
Not for us
2) Desert Flyer (Pegasus Spur) Starts 24 – Wins 3 – Seconds 1 – Thirds 5 – Stakes $21,203
She has a tidy enough record overall but her performances in the Group races has been poor.
Draw a help but still hard to see her as a player here.
Not for us.
3) Justines Amore (Love You) Starts 8 – Wins 5 – Seconds 1 – Thirds 0 – Stakes $24,476
Her record says she should be a major player here but we are not convinced.
Dominant in New South Wales earlier in season but her last couple in Victoria against many of those she meets here have been okay without being top draw.
First four player for us at best.
4) Reina Danzante (Armbro Invasion) Starts 7 – Wins 5 – Seconds 1 – thirds 0 – Stakes $53,638
Has hardly put a foot wrong in her career todate and from the draw looks the one they all have to beat here.
Bred to be something special and trainer -driver combo is outstanding.
A clear first pick for us.
5) Zaire Diva (Red River Hanover) Starts 22 – Wins 2 – Seconds 4 – Thirds 4 $26,245
Hasn't won out of turn right through her career as her record shows.
Good enough at different times to be placed or be thereabouts against a lot of those she faces here.
Draw no help but outside trifecta and first four player here.
6) Yankee Sister (Yankee Boy) Starts 17 – Wins 2 – Seconds 2 – Thirds 2 – Stakes $13,573
Nice enough trotter but just a length or two off the smart ones here.
Hard to make a case for here in this field from this draw.
Not for us.
7) Alannah Hall (Angus Hall) Starts 10 – Wins 3 – Seconds 1 – Thirds 4 – Stakes $20,998
Not the worst here by any means but draw makes it very hard.
Given a good blowout in her one Australian start to date so will strip a lot fitter for this.
Outside first four player at best from the draw.
SECOND LINE
8) My Arya (Angus Hall) Starts 24 – Wins 14 – Seconds 14 – Thirds 2 – Stakes $234,149
Champion filly who has just seemed slightly off her game lately.
Has only missed a place once in 14 starts in Australia so underestimate at your peril.
Draw terrible but driver Anthony Butt is right in the zone at the moment.
A winning chance and a must include for all trifecta and first four takers.
9) Fiery Mountain Girl (Sundon) Starts 15 – Wins 6 – Seconds 3 – Thirds 2 – $63,416
Quality filly who ran a great third in the New Zealand Oaks after doing plenty of work, beating home My Arya
Carried on the good work in New South Wales winning the Trotting Derby there and has to be a big player here with any kind of luck from the draw.
Include in everything.
10) Naked Majesty (Majestic Son) Starts 19 – Wins 6 – Seconds 3 – Thirds 1 – Stakes $38,235
Nice filly who was unlucky to not make the field for the final.
If she did make it back into the field, she is not a forlorn first four chance.
11) Glenferrie Burn (Muscle Hill) Starts 24 – Wins 8 – Seconds 8 – Thirds 2 – Stakes $61,875
Lovely filly who has built up a smart record to date.
Always seems to be one or two better than her but a good chance to get amongst it here.
Must include for trifecta and first four takers.
12) Endsino (Angus Hall) Starts 18 – wins 7 – Seconds 2 – Thirds 2 – Stakes $97,443
Another beautifully bred filly with a race record to match.
Outstanding run for fourth in Victoria Trotting Derby but needed a draw to beat a couple here and ended up in the carpark on the second row.
Still a chance from there but hard to see her winning.
Must include for trifecta and first four takers.
13) Aldebaran Deebee (Skyvalley) Starts 12 – Wins 4 – Seconds 1 – Thirds 2 – Stakes $ 21,220
Continues to step up but another filly who has been hamstrung by the draw.
Seems to take each step up in her stride but hard to see her winning this from the carpark.
Must include for trifecta and first four players.
SELECTIONS
From the draw Reina Danzante looks sure to lead and be very hard to run down with all her major competitors drawn poorly
If My Arya sees any kind of daylight from her draw, she immediately becomes a big danger to the favourite while Fiery Mountain Girl, Aldebaran Deebee, Glenferrie Burn and Endsino are all capable of running in the first four.
