2 Derryn Settled long way back and made no impression at second run this season when 6.8 lengths 13th to In Her Time in Listed Sydney Stakes (1200m) on 14 October. Past two wins have been on very soft ground, finishing strongly on each occasion. Unplaced but not disgraced at two previous straight runs.

9 Ocean Embers Slow out, raced wide and couldn’t keep up at 1000m when 5.6 lengths last of 8 behind Snitty Kitty in G2 Caulfield Sprint on 21 October. This distance more suitable although unplaced two previous straight course starts. OK on good to soft ground and usually settles well back in her races.
10 Crystal Dreamer Hampered at start and can forgive 5.4 lengths 6th to Snitty Kitty in G2 Caulfield Sprint (1000m) on 21 October.  Straight course winner four starts back. Usually races handy and best form on good tracks although not hopeless on soft ground.
