The experience and race smarts of Bring Me The Maid could give the filly the edge over the potentially more gifted Better Land in the $1 million Golden Rose.
That's the opinion of their trainer Peter Moody who will saddle up the two highly fancied runners in the $1 million Group One race on Saturday.
Golden Slipper placegetter Bring Me The Maid is the $3.50 favourite with talented colt Better Land on the third line of betting at $7.
Moody said the pair worked well at Randwick last Saturday to have them ready for feature.
"Bring Me The Maid is just a real professional. I think she's a deserved favourite," Moody said.
Better Land will have the addition of blinkers, a gear change Moody said was made to keep the colt sharp enough for 1400m.
"Better Land is a very exciting prospect. The addition of blinkers will help," Moody said.
"He's had no luck in his two runs in Sydney and he deserves a change of luck. It would certainly be a terrific race.
"Obviously it holds more value to the colt and I think the colt probably has slightly more ability, but the filly has the race smarts and she has the seasoning against the top level whereas he's still learning his trade.
"I would have a leaning to the filly for that particular reason. But come back here in six months time and it could quite easily be the opposite."
Bring Me The Maid is one of three fillies in the Golden Rose, the others being the Gerald ryan-trained Ygritte and Press Report from the Lee Curtis stable.
Fillies get a 2kg weight allowance off the colts and geldings but no filly has won the race since its elevation to Group One status.
Both Bring Me The Maid and Better Land have both won on heavy ground but Moody is not concerned about the track drying out with Rosehill back to the slow range on Friday.
"My two have proven that they can handle heavy ground, but I've got no doubt they will improve on the improving ground also," he said.
Bring Me The Maid will be ridden by stable jockey Luke Nolen with Blake Shinn aboard Better Land.
