Verdict

Very tricky. SEMANTICS (12) might be the best value. She was a soft winner first up then ran well in the G3 Red Roses at Flemington, notably backed heavily late in the betting. Just forced back to the inside there which wasn't ideal and she was only beaten a head, fancy she can improve again and atone. CADDINGTON (6) really pinned the ears back to win the Crockett Stakes at Flemington last time over this trip. She's a talented filly who might be undersold again here. SEQUINNED (8) was the $1.90 favourite in the Red Roses and looked to have the leader cold but missed by a (costly) nose. Back to 6f should suit her better and she's a backable price too. The tricky one to assess is NATURAL FLING (2) off the Coolmore. Below her best there but she's been the leading sprinting filly all Spring and this is much easier, just wonder how much she has left in the tank. AFFARI (9) ran on well behind a potential star last time and the maiden win over this trip prior was dominant.
