HAVING bounced back from her shock Vicbred Super Series exit, talented filly Treasure is ready to add another feature to her collection.
Among the favourites in the state-wide futurity, Treasure finished an unceremonious ninth in her semi-final as the $2.50 equal favourite.
The Emma Stewart-trained youngster quickly reacquainted herself with the winners’ circle by securing the Vicbred Silver Series Pace at Tabcorp Park Melton at her following start.
Pleased with the two-year-old’s condition, Stewart is confident Treasure can also capture the Australian Pacing Gold Championship at the same venue on Saturday night.
To be driven by premier reinsman Chris Alford, the daughter of Art Major has drawn to lead throughout from barrier four.
As such, TAB Fixed Odds have Treasure listed as a prohibitive $1.65 favourite.
Treasure’s stablemate – Amelia Rose – is the only other runner under double figures at $4.20 from gate seven.
Stewart will also be represented by Jo Dina, which is on the third line of betting at $13 from her outside of the back row draw.
“All three are working well and ready to run a good race,” Stewart said. “Treasure has drawn best and is the one to beat.”
Stewart also has Mirragon in the colts’ and geldings’ division, with the son of Art Major drawn barrier seven.
Runner-up behind APG purchase Yejele Hammer in the Group One Vicbred Final, Mirragon is a $1.50 TAB Fixed Odds favourite.
“Mirragon is also working a treat and will be very hard to beat,” Stewart said.
