The Godolphin team is starting to build momentum as they head into the autumn carnival, and are well represented in Sydney and Melbourne on Saturday, with leading chances across both meetings.

It's their tough two-year-old filly TEMPTED who comes up as our best bet in the Group 2 Petaluma Reisling Stakes (1200m).

The James Cummings-trained filly had genuine excuses second-up when jumping slowly from the wide gate, and giving away a big start in the straight, before catching the eye late when seventh in the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield.

TEMPTED heads back to Sydney tomorrow with a massive fitness edge over her rivals and the 1200m run under her belt in this easier contest.

James McDonald rides, and expect to see her settle off the fast tempo from the wide draw and assert her class late.

The daughter of Street Boss looks good value at $3.70 after starting favourite at her first two outings.  

Our next best comes up in the Group 1 Toyota Forklifts Canterbury Stakes (1300m), with the exciting mare STEFI MAGNETICA.

The Bjorn Baker-trained four-year-old raced without luck through the spring when contesting The Everest, Golden Eagle and Cantala Stakes.

The daughter of All Too Hard has impressed in both trials and has the closing splits to pounce late at the very generous each way price of $8.
