​

1. Super Smink (10)

Has been disappointing at all 3 starts this preparation, but at her best she could win this. Watch the market.

2. Ancient Guidance (6)

Resumed for 8th in a 3YO Open Set Weight With Penalties over 1200m at Belmont on 25th May (won by Generosity). Prefer others.

3. Brave Spirit (9)

Won a 3YO Open Handicap over 1400m at Belmont on 18th May. Rough chance.

4. My Jimmy (4)

Last start winner at this track and trip on 25th May. Could place.

5. Sapphire Street (2)

She has won her last 2 starts over 1400m at Ascot, including the Listed Sheila Gwynne Stakes. Winning chance.

6. Blue Lagoon (7)

Won 2 starts back over 1420m at Geraldton, then was 9th of 15 over 1400m art Belmont. Not the worst.

7. Cool Memory (5)

Has been runner-up at his last 3 starts and could place.

8. Richanco (3)

Won his first 2 starts at Pinjarra then  finished 3rd behind Brave Spirit last start. Can be in the finish.

9. The Boss Lady (12)

She has 6 wins from 9 starts. Won her first 3 starts this preparation before getting too far back and running on strongly for 3rd behind Generosity. One of the main chances.

10. Generosity (1)

Ran on strongly for a length win over 1200m at Belmont last outing. Drawn the inside barrier and gets a chance for back-to-back wins.

11. Brave Strike (8)

Wound up steadily for 2nd over 1200m last start with good closing splits against the older horses. She looks as if she will get the  1400m and is a place chance.

12. Right To Silence (11)

Looks tested.
