No. 1 - Montefilia (Kermadec (NZ) x Bana Wu (GB) (Shirocco {GB})
Trainer: David Payne
Jockey: Hugh Bowman
Barrier: 5
G1 Flight S. and G1 Spring Champion S. winner Montefilia was originally purchased as a weanling by Baystone Farm for $62,000 at the Inglis Great Southern Sale from the draft of Tyreel Stud before being again offered under the Tyreel Stud banner at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale where she was purchased by Payne Racing for $130,000.
She is the third winner from four to race out of Bana Wu who herself was placed at stakes level in the UK three times. Her second dam is Ausherra (USA) (Diesis {GB}), who is also responsible for dual Group 2 winner and the G1 Dewhurst S.-placed Strategic Prince (GB) (Dansili {GB}).
The dam side of her pedigree doesn’t display a great deal of staying form, however Bana Wu is by Shirocco (Ger), who is responsible for multiple G1 Melbourne Cup placegetter Prince Of Arran (GB) while Montefilia's sire Kermadec (NZ) is by Teofilo (Ire), the sire of Melbourne Cup winner Twilight Payment (Ire).
Bana Wu has a 2-year-old filly by Arrowfield shuttler Shalaa (Ire) named Nice For What, who was purchased by Ciaron Maher Racing for $160,000 at the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale, while she has a yearling colt by Ribchester (Ire).

Trainer: Tom Dabernig and Ben Hayes
Jockey: Damien Oliver
Barrier: 10
Coolmore paid $640,000 for Personal from the Cressfield draft at last year's Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.
Her dam Personify was a stakes winner and has already produced a trio of stakes performers in Laser Flash (Redoute's Choice), Selectify (Redoute's Choice) and Trope (More Than Ready {USA}).
It is a family with a rich vein of black-type winners, with the grandam, the Group 2 winner Procrastinate (Jade Hunter {USA}), having produced five stakes winners, headed by the Group 1 winner Laisserfaire (Danehill {USA}) and Group 1-producing stallion Time Thief.
While Fastnet Rock is not your typical staying sire, Personal’s staying ability is likely to come from her dam sire Galileo (Ire).
As a broodmare sire, Galileo is responsible for seven Group 1 winners over 2300 metres or more including last year’s G1 VRC Derby winner Warning (Declaration Of War {USA}). The cross between Galileo and Fastnet Rock has also produced G1 Australian Oaks winner Unforgotten and G1 English Oaks winner Qualify (Ire).
