INVINCIBLE WOMAN (10) was given a short break after winning over 5½f at Caulfield Heath. Kept ticking over since with a trial win at Gold Coast. Well-placed and is expected to prove hard to beat. ICARIAN DREAM (6) came from well back on the bend and hit the line strongly to score over 6f in the G3 BJ McLachlan Stakes at Eagle Farm last time out. Back a level after tackling a tougher race last time. Major player. GALLO NERO (2) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 5½f at Randwick, scoring by a long neck. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he cannot be discounted. SPACE RIDER (17) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 3 lengths over 6f at Eagle Farm on debut two weeks ago. Solid claims on best form.
