Melbourne Cup prospect Montefilia kicks off campaign in Chelmsford

David Payne has won the Chelmsford Stakes three times with Unearthly, Nevis and Gallant Tess. He believes Montefilia is the best of his fillies. She is a multiple Group 1 winner and a $26 Melbourne Cup chance. Monte Filia finished third to Think It Over in the last year's renewal. Raging Bull is also a contender for the Metropolitan in Saturday's YLC City Tattersall’s Club Cup.
