Verdict

VIA SISTINA (8) gets a better set-up for this out to the mile with the good tempo. Surged late when a narrow fourth in the G2 Apollo Stakes over 1400m at this track. J Mac is back aboard and she won't be as far back today. The one to beat. FANGIRL (9) well ridden first-up and got into the right position on straightening when sprinting quickly to put the G2 Apollo Stakes field away. Goes equally as well second-up and doubt she will get all the breaks here. CEOLWULF (1) wound up strongly late from near last on the turn with a respectable fourth in the G2 Apollo Stakes. Returned good figures on that occasion and capable of making a race of it here. LINDERMANN (5) speared across from the wide gate on resumption and pinched a break over the rise before being nabbed late to secure second in the G2 Apollo Stakes. Rawiller sticks and can run into the minor money again. ARAPAHO (4) hit the line with intent over the unsuitable 1400m first-up and looks set for a big prep.

Previously second-up 5th of 8 at Flemington in the G1 Makybe Diva on September 14 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Mr Brightside carrying 57kg at $2.50. In form and should prove too strong for these.

Previously second-up won by a nose at this track G3 Craven Plt October 26 over 1800m defeating Spirit Ridge with 59kg at $4. Will give them something to catch again.

First-up. Finished off last campaign second last in a small field at Longchamp in the G2 Conseil De Pari October 20 over 2200m, on rain affected going; 10 len behind Goliath with 58kg at $8.50. First up last campaign 11th of 13 at York in the G1 Juddmonte International Stakes August 21 over 2112m, 21 len behind City Of Troy with 61kg at $29. Returns with two trials and market moves must be closely monitored.

Second run back. First-up after four months raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 8 at this track in the G2 Apollo on February 15 over 1400m, 3 len behind Fangirl carrying 59kg at $21. Previously second-up 8th of 15 at Bendigo in the LR Golden Mile on April 13 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind El Soleado with 54kg at $4.50. Would have to improve sharply.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation won by head Rosehill G3 Rosehill Cup November 2 over 2000m defeating Wyclif carrying 60kg at $4.50. When resuming last campaign tenth of 12 at Caulfield in the G1 Underwood September 21 over 1800m, 7 len behind Buckaroo carrying 59kg at $6.50. Likely to find this out of reach.
