The well-travelled Bella Nipotina is a reliable mare who doesn't know how to run a bad race.
She probably should have won the TJ Smith in Sydney two back then headed west and had no luck in the Quokka but was still right there at the finish, beaten only 1.4 lengths.
She should get a nice sit from the gate and will have race fitness over a few of these so looks a good each way bet.
Last-start ATC Oaks winner Autumn Angel tackles the boys but has been freshened for the drop back to 2000m.
She gets Jamie Kah on board for the first time and relying on her to pilot the filly well from gate 14.
Ratings suggests she can win again.
