Solid pace with Scheelite finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. SHEZA ALIBI (15) untapped filly unbeaten in two high rating races this preparation. Trapped wide in a brutally run contest before accelerating quickly inside the 200m to demolish her rivals over this track and trip in the G1 Randwick Guineas. Since kept up to the mark with a 1000m trial victory. Clearly the one to beat. AUTUMN BOY (7) no match for Sheza Alibi two-back, then had the race in his keeping on the home turn when he sprinted powerfully to demolish his rivals in the G1 Rosehill Guineas over 2000m. Blinkers stay on from the good gate and shapes as a top-three contender. STEPARTY (8) slashing effort when fifth in the G1 All-Star Mile over this trip at Flemington from the tricky draw. Drops 7.5kg for this and good enough to take a hand in the finish. LINEBACKER (5) finished an unlucky eighth in this race last year and set to peak third-up. Zac Lloyd sticks and not without top-five claims. SIXTIES (16) good colt who stays in the mix with the 49kg. Can overcome the wide gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sheza Alibi only needs clear galloping room to put these away.
