MISS MUCINNI is a nice horse on her day, and she wasn't out of the top four in five runs last prep, the latest when 4th behind Taunting in the Hills Railway. That’s good form for a race like this, her fresh record is excellent, and she draws to run well. AVIATRESS was a good winner on debut at Murray Bridge when a 1.5 length winner over First Maid. She draws a sticky barrier but looks well placed here despite the jump to BM64 grade. FOXY FEMME has been racing well placed in all four runs since resuming and should be in the mix from a middle gate.

He was placed behind Cause For Concern at Flemington before running 4th behind Kin at Caulfield before a break. He draws out but looks hard to beat. SGHIRRIPA resumes and he’s a good horse who finished 4th behind Legio Ten at Flemington back in June before running 5th behind Validated. He trialled very nice for his return, the only query would be he’s winless, but placed, in all three starts. LONRODEX is going super and won two city races before two solid placings, the latest behind Grand Host at Murray Bridge and he draws a nice gate to be in the mix. Stablemate GRAND HOST comes off a Murray Bridge win beating Calla Dream and draws the inside gate. WHO SHOT SUZY brings some solid Victorian form here and is a winner fresh.
