Hunter is with the favourite, Cavalry Girl, to take out the sprint, referencing her race fitness as the main factor for why the Tom Dabernig-trained mare can win.

“I'm going to tip number 7, Cavalry Girl,” revealed Hunter on SENTrack & RSN's Giddy Up.

“Just race fitness on this sort of ground is absolutely vital, and she's got that in spades.

“She hasn't seen a heavy on race day. She's got through the soft 7 really well.

“She doesn't have to lead. I think she would let Beast Mode go, do what Beast Mode does, sit on his back and come off his back at the 300m.

“She's got a great little turn of foot and she's just a winner.

“She won a very weak race last time, but I think she can get the job done here with race fitness.”

Hunter also provided a YES or NO rating for each horse in the Group 3.
