Neither of the newcomers would have to be anything special to get involved. A half-sister to four winners, Satellite Express makes more appeal than Altjira. Plauseabella is hard to fancy on her form to date and it was a low grade maiden race at Warwick that Eleusis finished second in. CORDIAL will have come on for her first start since September and she gets a speculative vote dropping back in trip for this.
