The two high-profile fillies were both on the borderline to gain a run in the 2016 UBET Classic but both were among the final field of 20 plus three emergencies when acceptances were taken on Tuesday.

The 2016 UBET Classic (1200m) is run at Group 1 level for fillies and mares at Morphetville this Saturday May 7.

A last start winner of the 2016 Redelva Stakes, Don’t Doubt Mamma drew gate 15 with Petits Filous, winner of five of her seven starts, drawing barrier nine.

Tempt Me Not, a last-start winner of the 2016 PJ Bell Stakes at Randwick, also made the field but drew wide in gate 18 and is joined in the 2016 UBET Classic by her James Cummings-trained stablemate Sultry Feeling in 10.

David Hayes and Tom Dabernig saddle up three 2016 UBET Classic runners in Miss Promiscuity (barrier 21), Sheidel (one) and Wawail (11).

Darren Weir has two 2016 UBET Classic acceptors in Tuscan Sling (barrier 2) and Scarlet Billows (13) with Lee and Shannon Hope also having a pair of runners but both drew wide, Pittsburgh Flyer in barrier 22 and Sabatini in 19.
