She acquitted herself admirably over in Adelaide and was only run down late on by Exocet in the Centaurea on Goodwood day at her most recent start.
However, a wide draw and doubts about her suitability on the track give our traders ammunition to oppose her here.
Topweight Benzini is on the seven-day back-up having launched a spirited defence of his Brisbane Cup crown at Doomben.
This horse was considered good enough to run at Group 1 level in Hong Kong over the summer and we liked the way he hit the line last week.
Jumbo Prince, meanwhile, is aiming to go one better having finished second behind the runaway Maurus in this race last year.
Beaten 10 lengths in the Premiers Cup, trainer Michael Nolan has suggested punters should forget that run on the controversial Eagle Farm track.
Instead, look to his form prior to that, where he had run competitive races in two black-type Doomben miles having dead-heated with Col’n’Lil in the Weetwood out at Toowoomba.
The best of the others is arguably Tessastock, a promising staying mare who did all of her formative racing across the Tasman and won well in an easier race at the Sunshine Coast recently.
