HARLEM QUEEN (1) drifted back from her wide draw last time then hit the line hard to finish third in the G2 Emancipation Stakes at Rosehill over 7½f. Back a level after tackling a tougher race last time. Top chance in this field. MERIDIANA (6) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 7f at Randwick. Ticks all the right boxes. PHILIA (5) is an honest type who impressed last time, scoring by 2 lengths over 1m at this track. Has the pace and the right draw to find a good early position. One of the main contenders. PLEASURE ARTIST (2) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a lay-off then again missed the frame last start over 7f at Randwick, beaten 4 lengths into ninth. Nicely placed to find some form.
