Verdict

SEQUINNED (3) sets the standard after starting favourite and winning by two and a half lengths at Caulfield, with a close second in a Flemington trial since to keep her sharp. Her previous fifth in the G2 Tea Rose Stakes gives the profile more depth than a simple last-start win, and the Waller/McDonald pairing also has a proven Red Roses Stakes record. SCINTILLATION (2) has been running in all the right races, winning first up then placing in good company her past few. Like her back to 1100m. Should be at peak now. Appeals as a leading player. CALAMARI RING (1) missed the placings last start when 3 lengths away in sixth over 1400m at Randwick. Best efforts measure up and worth including. SEMANTICS (6) is progressive off a maiden win and can figure.

Most recently favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 2.5 len in a 3yo F SWP at Caulfield on October 10 over 1200m defeating Almost An Angel carrying 56kg at $2.80. Before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 in the G2 Tea Rose Stakes at Randwick on September 19 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Bangkok Hottie carrying 56kg at $17. Flying and finds another ideal target with McDonald sticking.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 39 day let-up. Last start tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 3rd of 11 in the G3 Scarborough Stakes at Caulfield on September 27 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Over The Bridge with 56kg at $7. The start before that ran on from midfield; 3rd of 13 in the G3 Cap D'antibes Stakes at this track on September 12 over 1100m, 2.75 len behind Satono Glow carrying 57kg at $16. Rates highly. Through the right races and rates highly.
