Group 2 placegetter CIGAR FLICK (1) is a talented filly who was well held last time out in the tougher PJ Bell Stakes won by Facile over 6f at Randwick, beaten 4 lengths into ninth. Can feature in this easier company. ADMONISH (9) finished 3.5 lengths adrift in seventh last time at Randwick Kensington in a disappointing performance. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. NOT THAT EASY (19) turned things around last start and got the job done by 2.25 lengths over 6f at Canberra. Must raise the bar but she has the talent to test this line-up. Group 3 placegetter SICILIAN (5) is back after a break of seven months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 5½f at Gosford. Yet to win when resuming but generally runs well with two minor placings from three tries. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
