1

Quintessa

Former New Zealand galloper who is a G3 winner here over 1200m last August. Resumed with a 6.11L 9th in G3 at Sandown Lakeside (1200m) earlier this month. Can improve.

2

Grinzinger Belle

Talented mare who won two of her past four runs last year at G2 over 1400m and G3 over 1600m. Has a great first-up record and has been 3rd in two 800m jump-outs to prepare for this. The one to beat.

3

Eternal Flame

Won G3 and G2 over 1600m in consecutive races last March, but has since struggled. Has finished last in past two, including the G3 Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes (1200m) at Sandown Lakeside. Hard to have.

4

Semana

This is more in her class after being beaten 6L in the G1 C.F. Orr Stakes (1400m). Never a threat, but ran on well. Will take some beating.

5

Rumbled Again

Resumes after reaching a career high at last start with G3 win over 1600m here on a heavy track. Handles all conditions. Much better against own sex and will be a threat again.

6

Coeur Volante

Lightly raced mare who is already a G2 winner at the 1400m distance and track. Resumed from a long spell with a 5.21L 7th at Sandown Lakeside over 1200m. Has trialled since and is ready to win.

7

Bon Mistress

Is consistent in lower class races and was a winner at Caulfield Heath two starts ago over 1800m and then failed at Moonee Valley over 1600m in December. Is okay fresh but this is tough.

8

So Glamorous

Has raced three times at the track and distance for a win and a G2 second. Didn’t have any luck in the straight when resumed with a 4.25L 4th in G3 Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes (1200m) at Sandown Lakeside. Always a threat.
