JILLIBY BALLERINI (7) stretched her winning streak to five when she broke in the score-up and was out of position at the start but surged home to score by 2.5m last start. Has won a trial since and is yet to miss a place at the circuit or the distance. Can deliver again. KEAYANG STUKA (6) hasn't raced since he placed in last year's Inter Dominion final in Sydney in December. Runner-up in a recent trial and is three from three when fresh. Has a good record here so could maintain that perfect first-up record. VIOLET STANFORD (2) hasn't raced since winning the Breeders Crown 3F Final here in November but has won all three fresh attempts and has been trialling well. Also unbeaten at the distance and draws to make an impact. NEPHEW OF SONOKO (5) found winning form here last week and from a similar draw could go on with it. SEBASTIANS BOY (8) must be respected after winning from this same barrier here last start.
