ROSE AYE (4) is down in grade after finishing 5 lengths away in seventh over 5½f at Scone two weeks ago. That effort came after she finished second two starts ago at this track. Better placed in this company and is one of the major players. DUPLI KATE (5) is a maiden galloper resuming from a lay-off after finishing eighth over 6f in the G3 Black Opal Stakes at Canberra at the latest appearance on March 10. Filled a minor placing in a recent Canberra Acton trial. Ready to open her account. HELLBERG (1) is a talented gelding who tackled a tougher race at his last run on February 10 and finished ninth behind Bodyguard over 5½f in the G3 Blue Diamond Prelude (Colts & Geldings) at Caulfield. Backmarker who gets home hard. Among the main hopes. IVANA (7) is a filly Xtravagant who cost AUD $ 60,000 (Inglis 2023 Classic Yearling Sale) as a yearling and kicks off here. Fitter for a recent trial. Profiles well, watch betting but could measure up.
