Plenty of pace from the outset with Barari and Tipping Rain leading the charge. INVINCIBLE WOMAN (1) will find easier than anything she's raced in before. Won the Vic Magic Millions 2YO Classic on debut before finishing down the track in the big one on the Gold Coast and then was a nice third in BM70 grade first-up last prep before being outclassed in a hot Group 3 at the end of spring. The two trials this time suggest she's ready to go and the only minor knock is the wide gate, but she's got the speed to put that out of play. CAFFETTIERA (6) will give her something to beat, though, with a big barrier draw edge and fitness from a couple of second placings in handy races. Imperatriz's half-brother I'MATEEZ (2) was meant to run yesterday at Kyneton but comes here after that meeting was abandoned, so the fact connections preferred that race is a slight concern, but he was a nice recent trial winner and is rarely far away. BARARI (11) was too bad to be true last start, but deserves one last chance off some good form prior. SUGGESTED PLAY: Invincible Woman to win.
