Perennially underrated yet a four-time Group 1 winner from 1600m to 2400m - defeated last year's Lexus Melbourne Cup winner Verry Elleegant in her most recent top-flight win in the Ranvet Stakes in March. In solid form and could arguably have won the Caulfield Cup with luck at the right time. Trainer David Payne will be looking for his first Lexus Melbourne Cup winner, having created history as the only person to train and ride the winner of the South African equivalent, the Durban July. It will be a first Cup ride for Sydney-based Kiwi Jason Collett.
