My Chiquita arrives at Perth holding a fitness edge over Idem and Lord Accord that could prove decisive over this demanding twenty-four-furlong trip on good ground, and though she sits narrowly behind those two on ratings she has the profile of a horse ready to run her race right now. Idem, the top-rated runner in the field, and the consistent Lord Accord must be respected, while Marsiac is also among the dangers in what shapes as a competitive Class 2 staying contest. The case for My Chiquita rests on condition rather than a wide ratings gap, so this is taken with a degree of caution, but on balance she represents the most attractive proposition in the race and the selection is My Chiquita.
