An absence of early speed provides Artifactx with the opportunity to lead. OPEN SECRET (1) has raced mainly at Group level and was only beaten 3.3L in the Furious Stakes two back. Competed solidly last time over this distance in the Tea Rose Stakes won by Apocalyptic . Won't know herself in a country CL1 and Schofield rides. The tongue tie is on for the first time and she has the numbers to give this a shake. PETAWAWA (7) presents third up for Matt Dale and she should be ready to show her best. She was only beaten 3L in the Canberra Guineas and was spelled off a try at Group level at Moonee Valley. BENAMERA (6) posted a strong relative figure when narrowly beaten at Canberra. Has an inside gate and will get every chance to go one better. WANDAYE (8) missed a nose at Gosford first-up and then delivered the Maiden win at Bathurst. Fitter again and can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Open Secret is well placed.
