Vics get the upper hand after The Great Square draw

Victoria is set to have a say in Saturday night’s Group 1, 2024 Haras Des Trotteurs The Great Square after Rockinwithattitude (Aldebaran Eagle) and Shes Ruby Roo (Creatine) drew the front row for the $150,000 harness racing event.

The Jess Tubbs-prepared Shes Ruby Roo has drawn four for the 2138m event while the David Mile trained and driven, Rockinwithattitude has drawn six.

Miles’ four-year-old finished second in last week’s lead up event, The Stellar Square.

“She was really good last week, she got a little bit tired, but I do think she will be better for the run,” Miles said.

“She had a good blow after it and she has pulled up absolutely super.”

The Monegetta horseman is confident the daughter out of Rockin Shiraz will do what she does best.

“There is a lot of speed underneath us, her asset is going forward and putting them to the sword, we will do that again this week and hopefully we can get across them this week without too much trouble,” he said.

“We are happy going into it.”

Rockinwithattitude finished fourth in last year’s edition of, The Great Square.

“She is much better this year than last,” he said. “She is going faster and she is stronger. On her sectionals if she can find the front and break 56 it is going to take a pretty good horse to beat her.”

Last year’s winner, London To A Brick has drawn seven, while, Bet N Win who won last week’s lead up event, The Stellar Square has drawn 11 for the $150,000 event.
