G3 – 1400m – Turf

1 Silent Sedition First run since November when 1.5 lengths 5th to Prussian Vixen in G3 Bellmaine Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on 10 February. Better suited at this distance and has sound record second-up.
2 Montoya’s Secret Group 1 winner at 2000m on heavy ground and was expected to find the 1200m too short when 3.3 lengths 9th to Prussian Vixen in G3 Bellmaine Stakes at Caulfield on 10 February. That was first run since September. Best suited over further but can improve.
3 Flying Jess Missed the start and worked home fairly when 2.3 lengths 6th to Prussian Vixen in G3 Bellmaine Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on 10 February. That was first run since November. Better suited this distance.
4 Wheal Leisure Not raced since November when 1.25 lengths 3rd to Vengeur Masque in G3 Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2600m) at Flemington. Won fresh at 1600m at Bendigo in last campaign and also won only other first-up run.
5 Exocet Not raced since October when unplaced at 2080m. Performed below expectations last spring but was a listed race winner at 2019m in May last year and a winner only start this course and distance. Placed one of three 1st-up runs.
6 Flippant Consistent performer who chased strongly when nose 2nd to Prussian Vixen in G3 Bellmaine Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on 10 February. Not won at 1400m but two previous runs at distance have been OK.
7 Samovare Not raced since November when unplaced behind Tosen Stardom in the G1 Emirates Stakes at 2000m. Began last campaign with excellent 0.3 lengths 2nd to Pedrena at this distance at Flemington. Not won but placed and has run well previous four starts at the distance.
8 Petition (withdrawn)
9 Jester Halo Strong win this course and distance on 27 January in Benchmark 84 Fillies and Mares Handicap. Then took on the G1 Orr Stakes (1400m) on 10 February and wasn’t disgraced with 3.1 lengths 12th placing behind Hartnell. This is more suitable.
