CAPTAINS MISTRESS (1) was first up for four months when she tackled a strong field of boys in The Velocity last week. That was her first time out of the money here and she races well second-up so is sure to have come on. She'll enjoy getting back to her own sex and should get every chance from the inside draw. ARAFURA (5) continued her strong form when a close second from this draw in the G1 Nevele Final last week. Also had this barrier when she won at Ashburton prior. Reliable and can go close. DUCHESS OF KENT (4) has come from tougher draws to place in her two starts since a spell. Has won third-up before so should be peaking and can show her best from this draw. CELESTIAL SEA (14) deserves respect after coming from a similar barrier for an upset win in last week's Nevele Final.
