Menangle Race 7

Yabby Dam Farms 2yo Fillies Final

Prize Money: $75,000

Two Victorian fillies on debut for the Lee stable look to hold the key to this. JILLIBY CONNECTION (6) is a daughter of Classic Connection and has shown talent in winning her last two trials. Draws a little wide but is sure to be well-educated as is Bold Eagle filly KEAYANG ZABRINA (1), who is a half sister to wonder mare Keayang Zahara. Runner-up to JILLIBY CONNECTION in her latest trial but she does get the advantage of the inside draw. INTHE NORTY CORNER (8) cops the outside barrier but was good when a close second on debut at Ballarat. Should be improved by the hitout and that experience edge could prove helpful. LALI (3) is a locally-trained filly who has been solid in her trials at this circuit and draws well enough to be competitive.

Two-year-old filly facing the starter for the second time. At debut 6th (Fr5) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 80 m by Bumper Crop (2:08.40) in 2yo LR F on May 30 at $21. Nice draw and may be an improver this time around.

Three-year-old filly lining up for the second time. At debut broke in score up and was out of position at the start good run despite hanging in on scoring up, when 2nd (Fr2) over 1710m after showing early pace at Ballarat, beaten a neck by Nathans Dreamer (2:14.50) on October 1 at $4. Draws wide but has plenty of scope for improvement.
