BENEDETTA faces her toughest assignment to date but she is a mare yet to reach her ceiling. NAJEM SUHAIL has been faultless since since returning as a gelding.

His long riding career extended for 46 years from his first race in 1892, at Clunes, Victoria, to 1936. His Cup winners were The Victory (1902), Patrobas (1915), Artilleryman (1919) and Trivalve (1927). He had 33 rides in the Cup, scoring five additional minor placings including on Phar Lap in 1929. He enjoyed a long, successful association with champion trainer James Scobie, winning the Victoria Derby eight times and the VRC Oaks seven times.
