STERLING GIGI (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 3.5 metres from the winner in second over 1690m at Maryborough. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. MATRIARCH DAISY (11) made a nice return at her latest appearance a week-and-a-half ago, finishing 2 metres away in second over 1609m at Geelong. Hard to know where she gets from this slightly awkward draw. Her last-start form is good enough to take out a race like this. BUBBLE OVER (10) can break her way into the winner's list after registering a sequence of three top-three finishes, the latest at Hamilton two weeks ago. ISTHISTHEREALLIFE (2) is a three-year-old filly by Tall Dark Stranger from Mistressofillusion on debut. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Placed in a recent trial. Capable of taking this out.
