It is Australia v Ireland jumping challenge day but we are hoping for some lucky shamrocks ourselves on a wet day.
Really like the way Shop Til I Drop has been finishing her races off this campaign and so happy to stay with her in Race 5.
Now getting over a middle distance, she can settle and rattle home and her breeding suggested as much.
Even though the wins have come in lower company, this race sees her against a few who are a while out of regularly being in the winner's list.
Having that luxury of no weight is handy as well. We can back her for a three-peat.
In the next race, it won't take much for Freehearted to be winning from her best form lines.
This race is a BM75 for mares and yet she won a BM90 two back on soft ground and then found Group 3 company too hard in the Spring Stakes.
Well that form showed how tough it was when Scales Of Justice, beaten here, would head to Caulfield and win the Group 1 Memsie Stakes.
She probably doesn't want it to be an absolutely quagmire but anything in the 7 to 8 range can see her best shine through – especially with the 2kg off for Justin Huxtable.
