Nechita remained a clear-cut Golden Rose favourite after the barrier draw for the $1 million race as jockey Christian Reith declared the Patinack Farm filly ready to continue her unbeaten sequence on Saturday.

Reith put Nechita through her paces in her final serious piece of work before the Group One at Rosehill and he is confident the filly has the quality and professionalism to beat her male rivals.

The John Thompson-trained Nechita was a $2.20 favourite after a field of 10 was declared and remained at that quote after she drew barrier six.

“She was awesome,” Reith said after Nechita worked solo over 1200m on the Randwick course proper.

“She worked really nicely on the course proper by herself and it’s all systems go for Saturday.

“She’s done nothing but improve since her first-up run so we’re pretty confident that she’s going to run at her best on Saturday.”

Nechita is owned by Nathan Tinkler who also races All Too Hard, a high-profile colt who was left out of the Golden Rose at acceptance time.

The Gai Waterhouse-trained Kabayan firmed from $4.60 to $4.20 after drawing the inside barrier.

Albrecht, who Kerrin McEvoy has chosen to ride over stablemate Epaulette, has the outside gate and is at $9 while Your Song, who is also on the same line of betting, has gate nine.

Reith has ridden the unbeaten Nechita in both her starts and is confident she has the right attributes to win a Golden Rose.

Forensics is the only filly to have won the race but did so in the autumn of 2008 after the 2007 spring edition was cancelled because of the outbreak of equine influenza.

“She’s very professional in the way she is in a race,” Reith said.

“She can be in any spot, forward or back. She relaxes and has an explosive turn of foot.

“So as long as we get to the races on Saturday, she should be producing.”

Anthony Cummings believes his two runners Your Song and Ninth Legion turned in the best performances, outside of winner Pierro, in the Run To The Rose and is confident both will make their presence felt.

Your Song was second in the Run To The Rose while Ninth Legion was fourth.

Your Song will wear blinkers on Saturday.

“I really think they will be in the finish of this race on the weekend,” Cummings said.

Cummings said Nechita had the “x-factor” and was the hardest to beat but maintained it was a tough race for fillies to win.
