OVERVIEW: MISS MUSCLE (9) is the two-year-old up against older horses, but she brings in some nice formlines for this 0/1-win event. Tom Rundle’s filly finished fourth despite a tough run in the Group 1 Vicbred Super Series final last month, before making a mistake in the Tatlow Stakes. She then ran a really good race from well back in transit for second to Night Flight at Ballarat. Good draw here and she looks the one to beat. Always had time for SHINELIKETHESUN (10), who did some very impressive things at stages last campaign but just struggled to put it all together. Freshened and back to the races, there’s a big watch on her. I think she’s above average. They look the main winning hopes, but respect is given to others such as THE PASO DOBLE (1), NO REPENTANCE (2), ALECTRONA (3) and DESERT ROYALE (6), who might have the speed to cross first-up from a break.
