She has come through her preparation for this race very well. The stable feel that she will handle the straight 1600m track as she is fairly relaxed in running. Gavin Lerena will do duty, and she has a winning chance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:83. Was not disgraced last time. Scarlett Heart finished third in a Grade 1.

He was not disgraced in the Grade 3 TAB National Currency Sprint last time. The son of Buffalo Bill Cody is drawn close to the outside with Gavin Lerena booked to ride. He is doing well at home and is expected to be involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:90. Faced stronger in a Grade 3 last time. Top jockey booking.
