The Tea Rose form is obviously crucial and the top five picks here all come through that race with reputations enhanced. TUPAKARA (2) was the runner-up that day after being ridden back from a wide gate then coming deep and rattling home. Draws much closer today so McDonald should have her midfield or better. Can turn the tables on APOCALYPTIC (1) who was at the races for only the second time when she weaved a passage to score emphatically. Enjoyed the benefit of a softer run that day but still had to drive through a gap and savage the line. Can only improve and another feature win is within reach. WITHIN THE LAW (3) was the victim of a poor gate in the Tea Rose but unfortunately meets the same fate today. Will be tough to hold out over the extra furlong all the same. KUJENGA (4) is best of the others to come through the Tea Rose although she looks like she might need to find another length or two. NEXT JEN (8) can improve sharply second-up over an extra furlong.
