|---|---|---|---|---|

From the wide stall Quickstepgal should cross and lead. Fantastic content with loads of talent lining up. QUICKSTEPGAL (10) has been freshened since winning the Grade 1 Cape Filled Guineas over a mile. Classy type who did win only try this shorter trip and expected to go close. GREEN DIAMOND (12) was safely held fresh but is a Grade 2 winner and did score at only other try second-up. MON PETIT CHERIE (1) was thereabouts last time in tougher company and freshened since. Has a great record this shorter trip and expected to perform well. MIA MOO (2) came from a long way back to score fresh. Grade 1 winner at this trip and looks hard to hold out again.
