Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 19)    

Expecting a strong gallop with Willy Meet Again and Kisshoten taking up the running over Pressonregardless. KISSHOTEN (5) is fitter for two runs back and turned in a strong run at the top level last time when fourth in the Grade 1 Empress Club Stakes. Looks ready to find her best. SUNSET RIOT (4) was an eEffortless open class winner latest making it two on the bounce. Expected to go close again. CHRONICLE KING (1) recorded a top win fresh and well up to this class. Solid top-three hope. WILLY MEET AGAIN (6) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth. Marco V'rensburg gets the best out of this four-year-old filly. Capable of featuring prominently.
