Race Overview
LOLA BERE (6) need only repeat her most recent performance to fight for victory. Course-and-distance winner STELLO TALLY (3) showed form over 1600m here recently and will appreciate the extended distance, so seems best equipped to challenge. Top-rated COSMIC FRONT (5) and SALMA (7) aren't taken lightly and have legitimate podium ambitions.
Selection:
6 - 3 - 5
