Track: Good 4 Weather: Cloudy

Wide open field. Quinetessa is early favourite. Comes off the back of a strong win and can go on with things. RunningBy was a surprise winner in the market but now can make it back to back in this suitable race. Alsephina couldn’t break through last prep but she was close on many occasions and brings a different form line to the table. Wollombi is a market watch.

1. Quintessa (8)

Quality win fresh and will be fitter for the return. Winning claims but this race is wide open.

2. Vibrant Sun (6)

Can’t have.

3. See You In Heaven (10)

Strong win fresh and solid effort last start. That looks good form for this and Kah in the saddle is a help. Should be around the mark.

4. Vagrant (11)

Decent drop in grade in this so can’t be dismissed at big odds.

5. Grinzinger Belle (14)

Can’t have.

6. Comrade Rosa (2)

Prefer others.

7. Wollombi (3)

Quality runner who has changed yards and Gollan knows how to bring the best out of them. Big market watch fresh.

8. Alsephina (13)

Struggled to break through last prep but was always around the mark. This looks a very suitable race but the draw is no help.

9. Lady Jones (15)

Can’t have.

10. Running By (12)

Unwanted by the market but won nicely fresh. Can go on with things here.

11. Unusual Culture (5)

Can’t have.

12. Fortunate Kiss (16)

Prefer others.

13. Rumbled Again (7)

This looks too tough.

14. Legacies (1)

Prefer others.

15. Foxy Cleopatra (4)

Can’t have.

16. Caste (9)

Has the class to give this a shake. Can bounce back from last run and isn’t hopeless at odds.

The following are the top 4 selections for this years race.
