Good pace expected with Grinzinger Heart, Platinum Pearl and By Choice paving the way. PRETTY BABY (4) is clearly the one to beat off an awesome Melbourne debut in the Atlantic Jewel Stakes, sitting midfield and powering away in fast time to win by four lengths. She's been up a while but that was a clear career best and she should get a good run midfield once more. REGAL AMBITION (10) is a progressive filly who looked very good coming from well off the pace to win fresh, beating a subsequent winner. The splits there say she can measure right up. CHERRY BOMSHELL (1) and BY CHOICE (6) both come down from Sydney. They clashed in the G2 Silver Shadow, By Choice finished 5th and Cherry Bomshell last. Cherry Bomshell has since run much better in the G2 Furious Stakes, up in trip should suit both and they warrant plenty of respect. KATOTO (8) was solid fresh with 61kg behind a handy one and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pretty Baby to win.
