1. Crimson Reign - Class Sydney mare who has drawn beautifully and has D. Beadman on. The deserved favourite.

2. Beautiful Gem - 1400 to 1200 is the concern. Ellicorsam will be putting on a lot of pace and this may drag her into it.

3. Ballet Society - On her day could win, but simply could not have her on recent form.

4. Ellicorsam - Won Hareeba Stakes at Mornington due to massive track bias in her favour. Will ensure a genuine pace but can't see her being in the finish.

5. Strikeline - If the track was utterly sodden, a heavy 10, she would be a good chance. Failing that, no.

6. Leone Chiara - Someone needs to get it into Danny O'Brien's head that this mare simply does not run out 1200m. Six attempts for the emergency number 0-0-0. Can't win.

7. Social Glow - She is a Stakes race winner. Why she isn't at stud is beyond me. Placed in this race two years ago but won't be again.

8. Truly Wicked - In the Social Glow category. Black type winning mare who should be at stud.

9. Solar Antiquity - Appalling first up and although she has a good second up record, couldn't have her. Placed in this race and Goodwood last year.

10. Unabated - Never given any reason to indicate she is up to G1 level. However change from Bill Mitchell to David Hayes stable may help. $8 is unders.

11. Make A Stand - In this race so her owners can go round telling everyone they own a horse in a G1 race.

12. Sovereign Miss - In this race so her owners can go round telling everyone they own a horse in a G1 race.

13. Exalted Madam - In this race so her owners can go round telling everyone they own a horse in a G1 race.

14. Zolaroyale - Group 1 placed in South Africa, and Perfect Promise has shown those horses can be more than competitive here. Be very wary.

15. Carry On Cutie - Hasn't fired a shot in 12 months. Get her to stud ASAP.

16. Crevette - Far from the roughest. Ran poorly first up but at $31, worth a nibble.

17. Chetwynd South - Nice filly but I question the form lines out of her races. Either way, $5 is unders.

18. Divine Madonna - I quite like this filly, especially her run in winning a Listed race at Sandown in Spring. Can sit midfield from barrier 5, and with D. Dunn on, at $17, worth backing.

SELECTIONS:

1. Crimson Reign
2. Divine Madonna
3. Chetwynd South
4. Zolaroyals
5. Crevette

The one I'll be backing is Divine Madonna at $17.
