Genuine pace with Perfumist finding the front from her low draw.
IDLE FLYER (19) added to her imposing record with a tough win over 1400m here a fortnight ago. Failed over this trip last prep but it was at the end of the campaign in stakes grade. Goes from a 78 to a 94 today but with the limit weight another win is on the cards. EMIRATE (17) was unlucky first-up at Rosehill then struggled to get involved in a Listed race at Flemington last time. Five of his eight runs to date have been at black type level - of the other three appearances he has won twice. Worth another chance back in Sydney. POLYMNIA (20) raced handy but was no match for Idle Flyer here recently when fresh from a four-month spell. Finds it hard to win but with just 52kgs and out to a more suitable trip she should be competitive. PERFUMIST (13) showed she was back to something like her best when edged out in a blanket finish over this course and distance last start. Should get a cosy run up on the speed and will be hard to catch. Specialist miler TIME QUEST (10) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Idle Flyer and Emirate.
