Just a moderate tempo headed by Spirit Of Camelot, Lady Jones and Miss Aria. MISS ARIA (7) has returned in great order this prep and looks ready to go one better. Was a brave second in the G3 Victoria Handicap last start, just missing by a nose. Drawn to get a soft run and is a serious winning chance. ZLOTIES (9) was electric late at Bendigo, storming home from the rear to win comfortably. Childs sticks with her and she’s trending the right way. Expect her to be hitting the line hard again. JENNILALA (4) made an impressive return when winning the G3 Matron Stakes at Flemington. Races her best fresh, suggest that's why the stable have her 49 days between. Have to take seriously. LADY IN PINK (1) didn’t threaten fresh but wasn’t far off in a deep race. Has an excellent second-up record. Don’t discount her with the extra fitness on her side. SPIRIT OF CAMELOT (12) is best placed of the local defence and is still improving. She can rise to the occasion. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Aria to win.
