STEINEM (4) looks ready to win. She was okay in a fast run race two back before giving away weight to the winner in the G3 Coongy Cup last time. Back to a fairly thin mare's G2, she should prove hard to beat. DENY KNOWLEDGE (6) is always interesting. She stuck on quite well behind a different tearaway leader in the G1 Empire Rose last week. J Kah looked to get a good run out of her and out to 2000m now, she'll give a sight. PEARL OF ALSACE (8) has a very good record in New Zealand, placing in the G1 Livamol Classic last start. Must be respected. THALASSOPHILE (5) looks suited to 2000m after hitting the line well last time, as does OSMOSE (13).
