I've gone away from the fav. Celtic Bloom (13) was a top run last start when beaten 2.6l by Valkyrie Diva. Came from 13th at the 400m at the Valley to run 3rd. Steps up to a distance she excels at and meets VD 2kgs better than last start. The worry is barrier 14 and B Shinn, although she will get back. I just hope there is enough speed in the race. Good value for mine.
Can't leave out Valkyrie Diva (7). Racing in good form and drawn well.
The Port Macquarie Cup winner Vitesse Dane (1) was a massive run last start. Can repeat that, just needs to back up.
Kosi Bay (10) closed well in the Myer Classic to run 3rd behind Lyrical Bid and Seachange. Placed at only 2 starts over the 2000m and with Oliver on board, she run well here.
Professional Lady (2) might not have ran out the distance i the Geelong Cup. Run before that over 2025m was handy and can go well here despite barrier 19.
Purde (8) drops in class, is drawn in 2 and has the Hayes/Williams combo.
