CHARMING CHEETAH stayed on to finish ahead of ZALATORIS in a Listed race over a similar trip, and the former should confirm his superiority on similar weight terms. Consistent TRAJANUS has a bit to find on official ratings but has shown enough to be competitive. Returning VICTORY IN ORLEANS is unexposed and open to any amount of improvement in her first for the new stable.

KAVADY and QUEEN LEILA confirmed the promise of their debuts by winning next time out, and both have had that form franked by subsequent winners. They are open to improvement over this extended trip so will likely play leading roles. OCEAN MISTRESS receives 3kg from those rivals and is expected to improve after a pleasing debut 2nd. RUBY WHISPER has the form and experience to make her presence felt too. Watch the betting on newcomer EL SHADDAI.

Stablemates STATUS SYMBOL and TURN IT UP built on promising introductions to win subsequently. The latter fared better of the Sean Tarry runners on debut and appears the pick of the pair on riding engagements. SPIRIT OF GABZ may have needed his last start in a Listed race and could pose more of a threat at this level. GONE COLD caught the eye on debut and should make his presence felt with any improvement.

UTSAAH produced a career-best 2nd in first-time blinkers (retained) over this trip and a repeat of that could suffice. Both NICHOLSON LANDING and MADE TO MEASURE fit similar profiles after last-start runners-up finishes of their own, so they will likely fight out the finish if confirming that improvement. BE MY FATE didn't go unnoticed on debut and could have a say on her reappearance.

GIMMETHESPOTLIGHT was too far out of his ground when a beaten short-priced favourite last time. He ran on from last to finish 4th on the Inside track but should atone for that defeat as the switch to the Standside track, with its longer run-in, from a favourable inside gate should be more to his liking. LANCE ALOT, MILLENNIUM WARRIOR and POMPEII SHIELD all have the form and experience to pick up the pieces if the selection fluffed his lines again. Returning SNOW MOON and MASTER BUDDY have earning potential too.

Last-start winners JORDAN and COPPER PLATE remain competitive under resultant penalties. POPLAR PARK wasn't disgraced in a fillies' Listed race last time so warrants respect at this level, even against on male opposition, off a reduced mark and with the aid of her rider's 4kg allowance. VESUVIO is proven at this level and over this distance so can't be taken lightly either, while well-bred ONE MORE STAR could have more to offer stretching out to this trip for the first time.

Many with chances in a competitive Grade 3 sprint. CHROME TOURMALINE and LITTLE BALLERINA are course-and-distance suited and will likely acquit themselves well on the evidence of recent performances. RACHEL WALL fluffed her lines last time but remains open to improvement on her reappearance. POBLANO, FROZEN FANTASY and Eastern Cape raider SONG OF MYSELF are also consistent sprinters with the means to play leading roles. Lightly raced PERFECT MIRACLE has shown enough to make her presence felt too, especially under a light weight. Last-start winner CALANTHA remains competitive under a penalty.

BOOM BOOM was rewarded for consistency with a last-start Polytrack victory and the switch to turf under a 2-point penalty shouldn't prevent another forward showing. TEO TORRIATTE and BACK FROM WAR bounced back to form last time and could get into the picture if confirming that improvement. STREISAND, ART NOUVEAU and TOO LATE MY MATE are consistent performers capable of better than their last starts suggest. OPEN SESAME has more scope for improvement than her rivals, especially in first-time blinkers.

Veteran WILLIAM ROBERTSON looked better than ever when winning under a big weight recently over 1000m. He is equally effective over this extended trip so should fight out the finish off an unchanged mark. Female rivals RODEO DRIVE (last-start winner) and MINOGUE will have no issue dropping back to a sprint trip, and both are weighted to be competitive. CHASING HAPPINESS, KARATE KID and RAFA BAY have a bit to find on official ratings but are dangerous to discount under light weights.
