METAPHORICALLY (3) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 1.2 lengths over 6¼f at Canterbury. Will again be prominent from the outset. Looks well placed so expect another big run. O'INVINCIBLE (13) was prominent on straightening and stuck on well to finish second last start over 6f at Kembla Grange, beaten half a length as favourite. Meeting a deeper field this time but she deserves plenty of thought. ZOURIPPER (10) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fifth, beaten 3 lengths, over 5½f at Randwick. One of the main contenders. MERGEILA (11) is back from a lay-off of 11 months. Closed last prep with a second, beaten a nose, over 6½f at Rosehill. Expected to feature.
