Another deep and competitive race. HERESY (5) looks ready to peak. She ran well in a good form race first up and then improved when placed last time, shaping as though 1400m would be to her liking. Gets that now and won't mind the cut out of the track. She can win. FINEPOINT (18) has always been well regaded. Fresh win was good and then stood up well in a race that has since worked out last time. That measures right up to these. PROMISE OF SUCCESS (1) landed a rich prize at Randwick last time and this won't take much more winning than that. ROOTS (19) was good at the Valley and SHE'S ALL CLASS (9) has a chance. Has been hit and miss but she ran as well as ever last time and this is no tougher.
