Pace a scorcher, headed by Golden Boom, Insurrection and Estriella, closely followed by I Am Me and Ostraka. The G1 Oakleigh Plate and SHE'S BULLETPROOF (15) sets up nicely here with 52kg. She was dominant winning the G3 Bellmaine Stakes at Sandown Lakeside second up, posting a very competitive rating. Williams takes the ride from a suitable middle draw which can see her midfield with cover and too strong late. ESTRIELLA (2) resumes. She's a talented, speedy mare who started favourite in the G1 Moir Stakes fresh last preparation. She's 2/2 at Caulfield and gets Shinn aboard. I AM ME (1) was scratched from last week's G1 Lightning Stakes for this. First up last campaign she beat Bella Nipotina which is the clear benchmark for this, hence the 57kg. She can lead or take a sit from the gate and is too classy to ignore. REY MAGNERIO (5) sprinted very quickly to win the G2 Rubiton Stakes here fresh and should get a nice run midfield here. Wary of the colt ESPIONAGE (17) who won at G3 level very well before a long spell. SUGGESTED PLAY: She's Bulletproof to win.
