No. 10 Just Like Gaby
Just Like Gaby looks ready to fire first-up for Ciaron Maher.
The three-year-old filly by Pierata is yet to prove herself at the races, but it’s worth noting she took on tougher contested than this as a two-year-old last year, notably running fourth on debut at Flemington.
Her run in a Group 3 at Caulfield last August was a complete forgive after shuffling back early in the run, but there has been a lot to like about her preparation leading up to her return.
Having won a jump out stylishly at Cranbourne on a wet track a couple of weeks ago, this looks an ideal assignment for her to make a statement.

No. 5 Zegalo
Zegalo should be racing with a stack of confidence after flying home for a handy win over 2500m at Mornington a few weeks ago.
The old boy by Zoffany drew all the favours in barrier 2, which he put to good use when quickening smartly to go clear by three-quarters of a length in the end.
This is a decent step up in trip, but he was far from disgraced over 200m further at Ballarat last year in a hurdle race.
Hard fit fourth-up with another three-week gap between runs, he should be strong in the finish if he can settle back early from the wide gate.

No. 4 Big Me
Big Me has been kept on the fresh side after finishing midfield at Flemington on New Year’s Day.
Nick Ryan’s gelding was checked badly at the start and forced to race three-wide from there on, excuses that saw him finish two lengths off in the end.
The son of Your Song’s previous performance here at The Valley was encouraging though, running on strongly to finish runner-up behind hat-trick winner Major Share.
Drawn a good gate this time with Mark Zahra steering, he has genuine claims in a race like this.

No. 1 Southport Tycoon
Any rain about will only strengthen Southport Tycoon’s claims further in the feature.
The dual Group 1 winner already has a serious class edge first-up over his rivals, having last raced in the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes where he gave a nice sight out wide to finish 2.2 lengths off Kimochi.
As expected, his recent jumpout was solid, working home strongly down the outside to finish a narrow second behind Just Folk.
Proven on wet going and drawn an ideal gate, it’s tough to see him being beaten.
