Thousand Guineas winner JOLIESTAR (3) is a talented type who recently returned from a break and made it three straight wins, scoring by 3 lengths over 6f at Randwick. Expected to measure up again. Group 3 placegetter COMMEMORATIVE (9) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 5½f at Randwick when returning from a lay-off. Takes on tougher opposition this time but she is right in this. Group 3 winner MUMBAI MUSE (6) resumed last time out and finished third over 5½f at Randwick, beaten a long neck. Serious contender. Group 1 winner SUNSHINE IN PARIS (2) returns after a lay-off of five months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 5½f at this track. Now under the care of new trainer Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald. Has to be respected.
