All six fillies currently at the top of the Thousand Guineas market are set to line up this weekend at either Caulfield or Rosehill.

The Darley trained Guelph will be looking to bounce back from her defeat first up when she lines up in the Group 2 Tea Rose Stakes with surprise Furious Stakes victor Bound For Earth and impressive recent trial victor Arabian Gold also set to take their place.

Hugh Bowman will ride Guelph for the first time this weekend with Kerrin McEvoy unavailable due to suspension.

In Melbourne the David Hayes trained Gregers will be tried over further than six furlongs for the first time in her career when she takes her place in the Group 2 Thousand Guineas Prelude.

The Robert Smerdon trained Politeness will also take her place in the field after proving ultra impressive in both starts back this time in.

Having broken her maiden status at Sale when resuming connections are hoping she can make the sharp jump up in grade from a dominant mid-week victory at Seymour last start.

The lightly raced Kiss A Rose was a real eye-catcher in the Group 2 Danehill Stakes last start and is the sole representative from the Peter Moody stable.
