Ciaron Maher was looking for a third victory in the race with the daughter of Blue Point (IRE) following previous wins with quality fillies Away Game and Coolangatta, but her task has been made a lot more difficult.

Following the barrier draw, Victorian raider Invincible Woman moved to favourite at $5 ahead of Gallo Nero at $6 and Icarian Dream at $7.

Debut winning Zoustar colt Space Rider is sweating on a run as first emergency and is also priced at $7.
