F:B(2)W(54.0)

Just the six runs to date, this mare was only three lengths away when resuming. Behind Hervey Bay that day but will be better for that run

Top Pick
8 Gin And Bare It
F: 22114B(1)W(54.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Kylie Fawcett )
We've liked the look of this mare for sometime and are happy to overlook its last run, when in a good field on a Heavy track. Came to challenge in the straight then but just outfinished. Rails draw
Main Danger
11 Laura's Legacy
F: 095X1B(3)W(54.0)
( J-Chris Dell )
( T-Janelle Millar )
Predominantly ran in Stakes races last campaign and continued its good progress when winning fresh up after a 6 month spell. That was over 990m and this distance will suit better
Next Best
2 Erin Go Bragh
F: X6218B(5)W(60.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
We thought this one was a very exciting prospect as a 3yo but after being disqualified, it never reached expectations thereafter. However, looked to be heading back to its best when winning in June
Consider
4 Cheerio
Dividend : $3.20, $1.50
Won
F: 8125XB(12)W(56.0)
( J-George Rooke )

Surprised to see this one open up as favourite but it did run well in Stakes races before being spelled in April Has to be considered
Longer Odds
9 Brutiful Lass
F: 92117B(8)W(54.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Won here a month ago and then missed when on a hattrick. Might bounce back at odds
This is an exciting prospect. It wasn't so much the fact that it won when resuming six weeks ago, but the style in which it did it
Main Danger
1 Pounce
F: 8X161B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )

No question that this filly has good ability either, having now won two of its four starts after putting a competitive field to bed last time in the Sunline Vase

F: 15X32B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Cody Cole )

( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Liam Birchley )
Winner on Karaka Millions night and back from Australia for the Sunline Vase three weeks ago, fancied and finishing third

Main Danger
1 Excite
F: 241X3B(8)W(57.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

F: 1B(3)W(57.0)
