In that feature, Amelia's Jewel ($8) is one of the entries but is also in the mares race on the card where she is more likely to run. But others will keep the race strong including a raft of Chris Waller nominations headed by Osipenko ($8), Francesco Guardi ($15) and Going Global ($26).
The grand hero at this level Mr Brightside ($2.50) has to be the one to beat again.
The G2 Bobbie Lewis Quality (1200m) will be a forerunner to some of major sprints in Melbourne but could also throw up an Everest horse and What You Need ($2.50), Benedetta ($3.50) and Ruthless Dame ($15) have the form on the board.
Another race which has been suggested as a race some slot holders are interested in is the Listed Poseidon Stakes (1100m) for the 3yos. Could King's Gambit ($2.50) or Kandinsky Abstract ($6) thrust their names forward?
In the G2 Let's Elope Stakes (1400m), that is the race Amelia's Jewel ($2) is also engaged in, and taking on the mares seems a logical step into the carnival since arriving from the West.
The day doesn't end there with the Listed Exford Plate (1400m), Listed Cap D'Antibes (1100m), and Listed Sofitel (1400m) going to be strong betting contests.
