OVERVIEW: ALIFETIMEFORLIVING (7) ran the race of her life last start when fourth in the Victoria Oaks final. Drawn wide here but expect her to be fighting out the finish. CARRAMAR TITMUS (9) unplaced in the Victoria Oaks final and bounced back with a big win when dropping in class. One of the main chances.  BRIGHTON (10) resumes since November 2024 from a long spell for the Emma Stewart stable. Bolted in at her past two Adelaide starts prior to the spell. Sure to be primed for a first up showing and should prove hard to hold out.  DELIGHTFUL MIKI (11) has loads of ability but got things wrong in the Victoria Oaks final. Still very green but don’t ignore. POSTER PERFECT (2) unbeaten filly with an ideal draw. Has done nothing wrong to date and indicates she can measure up here. LETS GO LORNA (6) going well and is an improving type and has place and first four claims along with ALL THINGS SPICY (1) and TIVOLI (8).

OVERVIEW: GOLDEN TRIBE (8) exciting 3yo that was outstanding when 4th in the Victoria Derby and backed it up with a soft win at his next run.

SAO PAULO SIMBA (10) performed way below his best in the Vic Derby final. Top Derby heat winner at his prior run. Can make amends in this.

Won’t be far away but needs to overcome a wide draw. MIKI SING (3) has loads of raw talent and produced an excellent performance last start in the Swan Hill cup when runner up. Don’t ignore.

OVERVIEW: SOHO AMERICANO (8) outstanding filly that was brilliant winning the Victoria Oaks final and looks extremely hard to beat here. LET HER ROLL (5) won eight of her first ten starts but appears to be racing slightly below her best in her three starts this campaign. Drawn well and strikes a suitable race to be bouncing back in this. Looks a threat. SEA SALT (7) creates great interest joining the Emma Stewart stable from South Australia and shows to have good ability. The Emma Stewart stable and the owner/breeder Tyson Linke have been through this journey in the past with great success with top race mare Encipher. This could be the start of another exciting chapter. SURFE LA MER (9) didn’t compete in the Victoria Oaks series, but her form suggests she is not out of place in that company. Gets her chance here to show if she can measure up. JOYRIDE (2) safely held in the Victoria Oaks Final but does have good ability. Drawn well and can improve to be a part in the placings and first fours along with NSW visitor PEACE OUT (6) and the in-form RAKAROMPA (3).
