NIANCE (4) went forward when resuming last start and proved too strong, getting home by a neck over 5½f in the LR Alinghi Stakes at this track. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BRAZEN LADY (8) was a winner last time over 5½f at Bendigo and re-unites with Damian Lane who steered on that occasion. Nice weight drop so another bold showing is expected. SHE'S BULLETPROOF (10) saluted last start at Moonee Valley over this distance. Has a very good record over this journey with three wins from six starts. Craig Williams who has two wins when partnering stays on. Has winning claims on best figures. EXTRATWO (5) hasn't made an impact like last campaign, the latest a fifth over 6f in the G2 McEwen Stakes at Moonee Valley. Has a solid record at this journey with five wins and merits respect.
