DE ARMAS (8) has had a reputation, and has lived up to the hype, winning on a heavy track on debut, and then winning the Listed Counties Stakes at her last run 9 weeks ago. She cruised home in a recent trial and will be spot-on for this assignment. There will still be good odds for her, and she is the one to beat for us. KINNAIRD (1) probably made himself the favourite for this after winning the Eclipse Stakes here just over 3 weeks ago with a bold finish late to score by a length in a good field. Stick with him. OUT OF THE BLUE (2) resumed with a fast finishing third at Trentham in Stakes company 3 weeks ago, which should have him at his peak for this main target. He won his first 2 starts at Riccarton and is poised to give this a big shake. TORTURE (7) was a Stakes winner on debut at Caulfield, and resumed with a fourth at Geelong 3 weeks ago. She treks from Australia and has to be respected. DREAM ROCA (9) won fresh up at Eagle Farm 6 weeks ago. She is in good hands. Can win.
