FRINGILLA was below expectations last start but can bounce back here. WAIHEKE ROSE won her maiden easily and is unexposed as she rises in distance.

BATMAN STAKES In 1916, in the midst of the First World War with a new sense of Australian patriotism, the Victoria Racing Club renamed its traditional Spring Stakes for three-year-olds. It became the Batman Stakes commemorating John Batman who, with John Pascoe Fawkner, was widely recognised as the founder of Melbourne as a city. The Spring Stakes as a middle- distance race for three-year-olds traces its origins back to 1894. Earlier races called the Spring Stakes or Spring Handicap had been open-age events. The best recent winner of the race was Vow And Declare in 2018, a year before he won the Melbourne Cup.
