The barrier draws for harness racing’s SENTrack Inter Dominion Pacing and Trotting Championships at Melton this Saturday (Dec. 10) are complete.
Locally-trained trotting mare Queen Elida (Love You) is the $1.90 favourite to win the $250,000 trotters final despite drawing inside the second row.
Queen Elida won a heat at Shepparton and finished second-placed in her other two heats.
Meanwhile, the star of the trotting series so far, Just Believe (Orlando Vici) is equal third favourite with TAB Fixed odds at $5 after drawing barrier 12.
Just Believe is undefeated in the series, however, punters have gone the way of barrier draws putting Mufasa Metro as the second elect after drawing gate two with the possibility of coming out of barrier one with the removal of the emergency.

Meanwhile, in the pacing ranks Somebeachsomewhere stablemates Act Now and Honolua Bay are the only horses in single-figure odds at $2.25 and $2.70 respectively.
Equal third favourites are the Belinda McCarthy-trained duo of Spirit Of St Louis (Sweet Lou) and Expensive Eog (Rock N Roll Heaven) at $11.
Connections were disappointed with the run of Spirit Of St Louis when 10th at Geelong on Saturday night and caretaker Luke McCarthy said it will be business as usual preparing for the $500,000 final.
“We were very disappointed in him,” said McCarthy.
“Whether the three runs in a week, he wasn’t as sharp.
“We had him scoped this morning (Dec. 5) and pulled bloods and he seems fine so we will continue on as normal.”
