Orchestral to take the lead and control the tempo.
ORCHESTRAL (1) is another sensational filly from New Zealand who beat her male rivals in the derby over there 4 weeks ago with consummate ease. She dealt to the best fillies there as well before that and her trainers know what it takes to win in Australia as well. She is drawn to get all favours and with James McDonald in the saddle, there is no need to look any further for the winner. ZARDOZI (2) was the Oaks winner in the spring and is back to that sort of form with a big win here over 1500 metres a fortnight ago. She won with a leg in the air that day and will only be even better over a longer trip here. She is the main threat to the top pick, if there is one. KIMOCHI (3) put in one of the runs of the day when finishing third in the Group 1 Coolmore Classic here a fortnight ago. The step up to a middle distance should not pose a problem and she can figure in the finish again. AUTUMN ANGEL (4) is a staying filly on the rise and her last start win at Flemington was top-class. SUGGESTED PLAY: Orchestral to win.
