Bossy Benita and Bridal Waltz possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. SKYBIRD (1) went enormous in the G1 T J Smith Stakes, beaten only a length by Joliestar and Giga Kick. If she reproduces anything close to that she’s a massive winning chance. GENEROSITY (3) took out the G2 Challenge Stakes fresh when rolling forward, then flashed late to just miss in the G1 Galaxy. The inside draw looks good on paper, but Macdonald will almost certainly be angling away from the fence to keep her in clean air. CHARM STONE (2) is a dual G1 winner returning to defend her crown. Was electric fresh in the spring when smashing them in the G1 Manikato. She resumed in the G1 William Reid this prep and stuck on bravely behind a red-hot Jigsaw. Her peaks are good enough to win this again. Maher has BENEDETTA (4) back somewhere near her best. She’s at peak fitness now and draws perfectly for Melham. Not dismissing. POINT BARROW (17) is still on the rise and will be looking to round them up late. MY GLADIOLA (16) has been too bad to be true in her past two. Can't forget. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Skybird.
