ROSA AOTEAROA (1) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and sat just off the lead, eventually drawing away to score by half a length over 6½f at Bendigo. Goes very well at this journey, boasting three wins from six starts and is right in this. NATIONAL CODE (13) is a talented mare who has been in the money at all four starts. Last appeared when she finished third over 5f141yards at Geelong on December 12. Should be poised just off the lead. Leading contender. ZUNNA (9) got the job done when resuming last start at Pakenham over this distance after she came from a long way back on straightening. Has a very good record over this journey with three wins from six starts. Takes on a tougher assignment but is one of the contenders. OLIVIA ROSE (14) hasn't been far away lately, beaten 1. 5 lengths at her most recent appearance when fifth over 6f at Pakenham. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Don't underestimate.
