5:45am - IRRESISTIBLE POOLS & SPAS SHERACO STAKES | 1200m | Group 3 | i

One of Waller's favourites kicks off her Spring campaign in this Group 3 sprint race for mares. The Set Weights and Penalties conditions gives the popular grey Catkins just 58kg against a group of sprinters that look a level below and the big question is, how fit is she? The strong trial in the lead-up suggests everything is on track, but it's worth a look at the mounting yard before putting a big bet on the nose. The key challenger could be Luke Price's Belle de Coeur, who will have some fitness from a strong Brisbane campaign. She enjoys the 1200m at Rosehill and will be running on late. Shamalia, from the Cummings clan, also has talent, while Chintz and Neena Rock could be the surprise packets coming from NZ. Good roughies for a place-bet come in the form of the under-rated Estonian Princess and speedy Runway Star. They will all have their work cut out sprinting with the 'Cat' though if she is ready to pounce first-up.
