SPIRIT ANGEL (5) has been a model of consistency of late and has been going around in races that appear to have had a little more depth than this. SMART ELISSIM (7) has been well-held at his past couple, but was good the three starts prior and will appreciate the quality of this race. SIR WILLIAM BRUCE (10) has been building up to a win, albeit in lower-class races in the Riverina. HIBERNIA QUEEN (14) is drawn to run an improved race.
