Race Tip
Multiple Group 3 placegetter FOXY CLEOPATRA (6) is a talented mare who was well held last time out in the tougher Peter Young Stakes won by Campionessa over 1m1f at Caulfield, beaten 5 lengths into sixth. Backmarker who gets home hard. Best form puts her right in this. Multiple Group 3 placegetter UNUSUAL CULTURE (3) well in the market lately and has gone close without breaking through, including a last start fourth in the G2 Peter Young Stakes at Caulfield. Jamie Kah stays aboard. Best form puts her right in this. ETERNAL FLAME (10) gave away a considerable start over 7f in the G3 Mannerism Stakes at Caulfield last time before hitting the line well to finish fourth. Must be included. Group 3 winner FOXY FRIDA (1) resumed over 7f in the G3 Frances Tressady Stakes at this track where she showed little early speed but got home nicely to finish fourth, beaten 1.4 lengths. Warrants plenty of respect.
