Richard Jolly is confident star South Australian filly See You In Heaven can overcome a tricky barrier and big weight in the $200,000 Group 3 Vanity Stakes (1400m) at Flemington on Saturday.
See You In Heaven has drawn barrier nine with Craig Williams riding and despite giving the bulk of her rivals three kilograms at the weights she is marked a $3.60 favourite with tab.com.au.
“She’s got a penalty against the other fillies, but if it was a handicap, she’d be carrying a lot more weight,’’ Jolly said on radio.
See You In Heaven was only run down late at her return to racing by Shamino in the Listed Durbridge Stakes at Jolly said there was still plenty of improvement to come.
“She was beaten by a good sprinter on his day,’’ Jolly said.
“The track that day was favouring the swoopers a bit and we were more than happy with that run.
“Her goal is the (Australian) Guineas, there is still improvement in her,’’ he said.
