Harpley looks for fillies to deliver result at Young

Harpley lines up Skippers Swan Song and Machs Legacy on the eight-race card.

He's looking for a swansong performance for the last start winner after Skippers Swan Song broke through for her first win at start 20 last time out.

"She's off to Mildura later in the week when the transport gets here to see if she can win a race down there," Harpley said. "It probably suits her with the ratings down there as they run a 45-55 for three-year-olds and it is always preferential draw ratings or sex."

Skippers Swan Song clocked a mile rate of 2:09.1 at Temora earlier this month to finally break through following seven minor placings.

The daughter of Western Terror did provide a special win for the stable after ensuring her late mother Beejaykay completed her perfect record in the breeding barn with each of her 11 foals winning at least one race.

"I was pretty proud of that," Harpley said.

"Not many can do 11 from 11 even if there were a couple of low victories from the others."

She has drawn barrier two in the opening race and Harpley believes that will be a boost to her chances.

Harpley also lines up Machs Legacy, who has finished runner up in five of her eight career starts.

She's won once this season and has only missed a top two finish once in her last seven runs and after being scratched from the NSW Breeders Challenge semi-finals Harpley is looking to go one better.

"She is working good," Harpley said.

Harpley has recently taken over the filly's training from Bernie Kelly and secured a second place finish in the NSW Breeders Challenge heats.

He's looking to have one more run before a tilt at the Regional series next month.

Harpley also drives Redbank Harry for Stan Hedlund.
