Either Oar should lead at a slick tempo. RICH FORTUNE (4) does look the one to beat. She was 5th in the G1 Lightning Stakes here two back behind Imperatriz. She was definitely flattered there but even her run in December here reads very well for this behind Katsu. LEMPICKA (2) was just fair in the G1 Oakleigh Plate but bounced back to win well last time at Caulfield. She has a good turn of foot and will be running on strongly. MEGAMEA (3) went down to Tasmania and won the G3 Vamos Stakes at Launceston last start. Back in trip for this is the query. MY BELLA MAE (1) hasn't been able to show her best in Melbourne but isn't too far off it. Could improve. SENEGALIA (8) perhaps next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rich Fortune to win.
