1

Autumn Boy

Won G1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) on 11 October before resuming with 1.47L third to Ninja over 1400m at Rosehill on 21 February. This top-class runner will be improved for the run and hardest to beat.

2

Attica

G1 Spring Champion Stakes (2000m) winner on 25 October before resuming with fast-finishing 2.15L fourth to Ninja over 1400m at Rosehill on 21 February. One of the top hopes.

3

Ninja

Resumed impressively with strong win in G2 Hobartville Stakes (1400m) at Rosehill on 21 February. Gave nothing else a chance last start and right in the mix again.

4

Rivellino

Improved effort when 2.89L fifth to Ninja over 1400m at Rosehill on 21 February. Should be reaching peak fitness now but this looks to be a tough assignment.

5

Green Spaces

Best form is at 1600m and faded for 4.43L sixth to Ninja over 1400m at Rosehill on 21 February. Consistent galloper who is more than capable on his day and well suited by extra distance.

6

Providence

Won 1350m maiden at Wyong on 10 February and showed decent form last Spring in Melbourne with G2 placing but this is a steep rise in class.

7

Decorum

Chasing fourth win in a row after a trio of comfortable victories in lower class. Very consistent galloper who has earned a crack at elite class but will need to improve further.

8

Dusty Bay

Resumed with fair 6.31L sixth in G3 Eskimo Prince Stakes over 1200m at Randwick on 7 February and has trialled well since. Would need to improve dramatically to contend here.

9

Sheza Alibi

Top-class filly who is chasing her fourth win in a row. Resumed with effortless victory in G2 Angus Armanasco Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on 21 February. One of the leading chances.
