1. Atlantis Dream: Disappointing run last start at Flemington. Drifted in kind also. Watch the market, clearly good enough to destroy this field.
2. Girl Guide: Out the back last start at Flemington after an issue at the start and finished off okay considering. Clearly on speed today from barrier with a lack of speed in the race. Not proven at distance an issue.
3. Do You Remember: South African import. Hasn’t won since getting a Group 1 over 2000m in 3YO grade in 2013. Couldn’t get within 5L of a win last prep and hasn’t seen a track for 1.5 years. Hard to suggest the win without a miracle?
4. Girl in Flight: Horrible the two runs in this prep. Struggle to suggest today either.
5. Coronation Shallan: Ran quite well last start at Caulfield when 3rd in the Group 3 behind Vashka and Under The Louvre. Still, was clearly beaten on the day. Up to 1600m should give her a chance.
6. No Tricks: This is a big step back in class today and I have to admit the horse looks well placed. Ran very well in WFA-G2 company the last two starts. Weighted to win.
7. Precious Gem: Ignore last start when found nothing. Obviously better than that. Better barrier.
8. Lucky Lago: Very disappointing run from a good enough spot in running and was well backed last start. Previous run good enough to consider.
9. Manageress: Continues to run well. Loss last start backed up with La Passe winning since. Maps a dream.
10. Ballet Suite: Ignore last start and rate on previous runs. Won over 2000m in similar grade. Obviously has the ability but hasn’t won in 3 runs this prep.
11. Zarzali: Going the right way this prep. Needs further.
12. Azkadellia: Very strong win at Cranbourne against the trend as well. Can make a step up here.
13. Holy Cow: Not going well enough.
Comments: Huge price on offer in the last for No Tricks and I have to take it here in the wide open race.
