3 and 5 to lead 11 and 2. A good group of mares but this one I had some trouble finding confidence about. In the end I've gone MANAAL but of course she has the Expressway option as well. Last prep she was 1st-up at Caulfield and then hit winning form immediately on her return to Sydney. Drawn to sit pretty in running here. GERRINGONG our likely leader (I think) and without winning she was quite impressive throughout last prep. Sound in her trials (albeit behind LILAC in the latest). No knock on LAZZURA given what she did at the beginning of last prep.
