Strong form through Group races makes this filly the clear top pick. Group 3 placed at Flemington last start and the form through those races looks superior to this field. Jamie Mott sticks with her and while the barrier is wide, she has the early speed to overcome it.
Impressive maiden winner last start in good time. Should get a nice trail from the wide gate and looks to have plenty of upside. The Eurell stable knows how to prepare a good juvenile.
Showed ability on debut and gets the services of Ben Melham from a good gate. The cross-over nose band goes on which could help him settle better.
First starter from a good juvenile stable. The blinkers going on first time suggests they expect sharp improvement and the barrier gives options.
