Best Bet
J: J Mcdonald T: C Waller

Unbeaten in 3 starts and should remain so after this. Looks a superstar in the making.

2. Snow In May (7)

J: K Mcevoy T: J O'Shea & T Charlton

Was unbeaten in 2 starts before meeting Autumn Glow last start and was far from disgraced when she rattled home into 2nd spot. The extra 200m will suit and looks the only one capable of causing an upset.

3. Lazzura (Em1) (8)

J: C Williams T: C Waller

Is very smart and looms large. Ran sensational 1200m time on debut and 3 starts since have been solid including a solid finishing 4th to Autumn Glow in the Gr 2 Tea Rose over 1400m last start. Super fit now and can run a big one.

4. Lady Shenandoah (6)

J: Z Lloyd T: C Waller

Resumed from a spell last start over 1400m and came with a powerful and very impressive burst to claim the Gr 3 Ming Dynasty. Is up against stablemate who looks awesome but she has enough talent to make a race of this.

Improving filly who is also stablemate to the fav. Made very good ground last start over 1400m in stakes race at Caulfield. This is harder but has talent and can run on. Place.

6. Miss Busslinger (5)

J: D Gibbons T: K Lees

Tough filly who is 3rd up here. Did get beaten last start but actually ran fast time for 1400m. This is very hard though and looks tested.

7. Harlem Queen (2)

J: S Clipperton T: N Doyle

This is a big step up in grade from recent starts but this filly is pretty smart. And she’ll be big odds. Ran fast time to win a class 1 at Kembla last start over 1400m. No surprise to see her run a place.

J: T Berry T: J Sargent

Maiden still after 4 starts to date but she has a lot of talent. This is too much for her but can’t wait until she’s in a maiden somewhere because I’ll get on.
