MAYFAIR (1) is first-up here but has been plying his trade in much harder Sydney and Melbourne Group races and will appreciate the sharp drop back in grade in this. Revved up for this with two recent trial placings and gets the reliable Waterhouse/Bott/Clark combination. Looks the one they all have to run down. AMELITA (3) saves her best form for this journey with two wins and a second from five attempts and is another to drop back in company. Rates among the leading hopes. ZOUBABY (11) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but go on the strong runner-up finish to kick off the campaign. Worth another chance. BELEGATO (5) strips fitter second-up from the break and is usually thereabouts. In the mix for some minor money. MISHANI LILY (9) best of the rest in a race with only a handful of chances.
