SKY FLAIR (2) didn't win last season but mixed it with the top juvenile fillies and was Group 1 placed when last seen, clocking in third in the Vicbred Final here in September. A trial win suggests she is back in good order and she draws for a winning return. PRINCESS DU FER (9) has yet to miss the top-four, highlighted by a head second two back at Kilmore. She can make an impact if things go her way from the back row. AMARTEY (7) draws wide but should be close to peak fitness having placed in both starts since a spell. KARBINE (1) resumes off a trial win and should not have any excuses from the ace draw.
