KALPANA finished her season on a high with victory in this race last year and is fancied to repeat the feat following another fine campaign. Quisisana was highly progressive against her own sex before finding things too hot in the Arc and she's feared, while Estrange has won four of her 6 starts and remains capable of better, for all connections would have liked more rain. Hat-trick seeking Waardah is a filly on the up and she's no back number now tackling a Group 1.
