OHOPE WINS (2) had been crying out for more ground prior to scoring an impressive win at Ellerslie in her first run at 2000m just over 5 weeks ago in the G2 Sir Patrick Hogan Stakes, denting some reputations along the way. She has trialled nicely since then, and she can repeat the dose. CHILLING OUT (3) was chasing a hat-trick when finishing a game fifth in the Karaka Millions for 3-year-olds at Ellerslie a fortnight ago over a mile. She is bred to relish the longer trip here, and she will be hard to hold out. BORN TO BE ROYAL (6) dropped back in class after finishing third behind the top pick in the same race in her penultimate start, and was far too good for maiden grade at Matamata 15 days ago. She has sound top 4 claims back in this company. FAIRY DREAM (4) lifted late when scoring a short-head win in the G3 Desert Gold Stakes at Trentham 3 weeks ago. The extra 500m is ideal, and she can repeat. SAVVY DONNA (9) did it tough but was still too good at Matamata last start. Include.
