Strong tempo with Rodeo Drive, Famous Lady and Kisshoten leading the charge. DOUBLE GRAND SLAM (1) comes here off a break of nine weeks. Scored over 1600m at Kenilworth to launch the last campaign. Grade 1 level mare resuming and expected to go close. GOLDEN PALM (9) was prominent from the outset when second over 1800m in the G1 SA Fillies Classic at this track last time out. Should park just off the speed. Will take beating. RAINBOW LORIKEET (2) closed last campaign with three consecutive minor placings including a Grade 1 minor last time. Good record at this journey with two wins and four minor placings from eight starts and has to be included. CALLMEGETRIX (3) made progress last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to maintain the form.
