SHEZA ALIBI is the new kid on the block and aiming to spoil the party. AUTUMN BOY should show vast improvement.

Her 15 career wins include a Sydney Cup, Australian Cup, Turnbull Stakes and WS Cox Plate. Twice Australian Champion Racehorse of the Year, she is a Legend in the Australian Racing Hall of Fame.
