Pride Of Jenni

Champion front-runner who won this race in 2023. Not able to put her usual big gap on field as in the past. Led all the way to win first-up, but faded last start.

2

Fangirl

Top mare who ran on strongly from near last but faded in last 100m for 2.89L 6th in G1 1609m. A track/distance winner and will bounce back.

3

Abounding

Ultra-consistent mare has been placed in all past 5 runs, including last start G2 victory when finished off strongly over 1400m.

4

Damask Rose

Good record in Zealand with 4 wins and 2 minor placings from 10 starts. Yet to place in Australia in 3 tries and no luck last start. Chance.

5

Benagil

Held up at crucial stage last start when first-up in Listed 1400m but was solid to the line to finish 2.5L 3rd. Expect improvement at 1600m.

6

Leica Lucy

G1 2400m winner in New Zealand who won 5 consecutive races at home. Has been good in 3 Australian starts, including 1.4L G1 3rd. Rates highly.

7

Lazzura

Has 5 wins and 3 minor placings from 13 races. Wasn’t disgraced in G1 Toorak Handicap (1600m) when 5 of 10 after G2 and G3 wins. Respect.

8

Firestorm

Has been competitive in past 3 (2 at G2 level) at 1400m. Is ready for the rise to 1600m but must handle increase in class.

9

Splash Back

Won G2 1500m at Moonee Valley and then fought on strongly have being slowly way to finish 2nd in G2 (1400m). Has some appeal.

10

Idle Flyer

Has gone to another level this campaign with 3 wins and a 2nd and won G3 1600m at last start.  Joined in at 100m mark and too strong.

11

On Display

Ready to strike after 3 runs at 1400m and will appreciate the rise to 1600m. Got too far back when finished 1.71L 3rd last start.
