A genuine pace is expected with Wonderfully Made, Admire Astra and Vampi Queen rolling along early. WONDERFULLY MADE (1) continued her unbeaten run with a brilliant 2.1L victory in the 1000 Guineas. She looks to have a class edge on her rivals again here despite meeting them worse at the weights here. Has some tactical versatility about her as well and she can continue her winning ways. MASMELO (2) finished off impressively second-up behind Wonderfully Made in the 1000 Guineas. May be able to take closer order this time around from the inside barrier. The rise in trip should suit her and if there's one who can upset the favourite, it may be her. ADMIRE ASTRA (3) stuck on well after setting the tempo in the 1000 Guineas and continues to improve as they step up in trip. Fiore hops back on board today and she can play a leading role. CHINO BAY (4) won well last time out and jumps straight to 2200m on the 9-day turnaround. Creates some interest. HEAVENLY RAPTURE (6) flew home to score last start and is worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wonderfully Made can extend her winning run.
