WHAT CONNECTIONS ARE SAYING
"I feel privileged every time I put a saddle on her big, broad back. She is a mountain of a mare and if the track is no worse than a (soft) seven it would be a great way to see her out" - Alizee's trainer James Cummings
"She's definitely done more than we ever thought she would. She's done a great job but I think she's continuing to improve so regardless of what happens on Saturday, hopefully she can go on with it" - Positive Peace's trainer Bjorn Baker
"Last year she was second-up into it after winning the Bendigo Bracelet so it's a completely different preparation. We've got a bit more of a handle on her now and we feel she's going as good as she has done" - Miss Siska's trainer Grahame Begg
