G1 Winner Inference was the star ofthe show at Chatswood StudA top class three year-old that won the Group I ATC Randwick Guineas and placed in the Rosehill Guineas and Victoria Derby, Inference was trained by Team Hawkes, who also put the polish on his little sister Sequitur.

Retained to race by her breeders, she has shown ability in two Sydney barrier trials and has Dwayne Dunn to ride.

Another interesting debutant in the race is expensive Shamexpress filly Shamwow, purchased for $300,000 at the Magic Millions.
