MANOLO BLING (1) was off a decent break last start at Geelong and was okay over 1100m when well supported, not beaten far in sixth. The run before that break she won well here over 1000m and put up a good number. She should be fitter here and rates highly. Big watch on KIRRIBILLI (2) who resumes having won well on debut before measuring up well when third in the G3 Quezette Stakes at Caulfield. She's a well bred filly who can return in winning form. PRINCESS QUE (3) beat a smart one in Sweethearted two back at Moonee Valley, with that filly since winning twice, before she was only overrun very late last time. She'll be up there and should be hard to get by. LA VIE EN (7) won easily as favourite fresh at Warrnambool and has plenty of upside. ACTUALITY (6) was a narrow winner on debut at Geelong in September and could measure up here fresh.

Racing first-up today. Not seen since she finished last of 8 at Moonee Valley in the LR Crockett October 26 over 1200m, 4 len behind Certain Rise with 56kg at $14.
