I'M YOURS has been waiting for the ground to ease after her victory at this level at Gowran in April. She's just the type of filly her trainer does so well with and she can make a successful return to action. After her debut success in April, Waltzing Matilda has run four times at Group 3 level and not been beaten far in any. She looks the main threat if the selection just lacks race-fitness. Avenue Gabriel is taking a big drop in class after running in two Grade 1s earlier in the season. She's another with a big chance and it will be a surprise if she isn't there at the finish. Akira's close second to Brooch at this level at Killarney in August would give her a shout as she's competed at Group 3 level subsequently.
