ZOUBABY (9) returns from a short break after finishing fifth over 5½f in the G3 Red Roses Stakes at Flemington five-and-a-half weeks ago. Kept up to the mark with a recent Canterbury trial placing. Hard to beat on best form. TRAFALGAR SQUARE (15) has been in the placings her past two starts, finishing second over 5f at Warwick Farm last time out. Top chance. EMMADELLA (4) last appeared when fourth over 1m in the G3 Winx Guineas at Sunshine Coast five months ago. Comes here with definite top-three claims. LADY EXTREME (8) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5½f at Canterbury, beaten a nose. Will strip fitter this time. In the right race and is sure to be prominent.
