OHOPE WINS (1) rounded up her rivals with ease when winning the G2 Ellis Fillies Classic at Te Rapa 2 weeks ago, and before that, she flashed home late to score in the G2 Sir Patrick Hogan Stakes on this track over 2000m. She is the one to beat, and the hat-trick beckons. AUTUMN GLORY (4) made the most of a good ride when getting up late to score a tough win in the G2 Waikato Guineas a fortnight ago, and she should have no trouble with the extra 400m. She has more to offer and is the main threat to the top pick. ARIADNE (6) ran on late and was only a length back in fourth place in the G2 Lowland Stakes at Trentham 3 weeks ago. Her forte will be over the longer trips, and she is right in this. ULTIMATE HABIT (5) roared home over the top of her rivals when winning the Lowland Stakes last time out. She has won a trial since then and has to be respected. Each way. CRIMSON SKY (9) caught the eye with a late finish for fifth in the Lowland Stakes, and she can run into the top 4 here.
