CAPTURED BY LOVE (2) comes over from New Zealand having run an even race first up off a short spell in the G1 Railway at Ellerslie, finishing seventh, beaten 2.25 lengths by a good one in Crocetti. Like her getting to 1400m and the ratings say she's absolutely up to beating these. Thousand Guineas winner ANOTHER PROPHET (1) was sound fresh in the Manfred Stakes in a bunched finish. Not quite sold on her just yet but this does look a more suitable race for her. CILACAP (5) resumes from a short break. She's a progressive filly who won easily at Caulfield Heath last time out. She's got an engine there and should be running on strongly. Don't discount the other New Zealander KITTY FLASH (6). She's put up a couple of runs behind top liners Alabama Lass and Savaglee that measure right up here. GOOD SORT (8) resumes and must be respected with McDonald on.
