Form & Verdict
Her first seven starts (7f-8.5f; five for Archie Watson) weren't brimming with encouragement but she took a good step forward when third of 12 at Newcastle 11 days ago on her drop to 5f; could fare better still as a sprinter and this race is weak; interesting.

Form & Verdict
Two C&D wins to her name and although her style of racing can leave her a hostage to fortune, she's been running well in defeat this winter; Rossa Ryan takes over in the saddle today and she's a major player at this level.

C&D winner who didn't get much luck when a creditable third here last month and she ran into a big improver when fourth of six on her return visit 13 days ago; this is not so tough back in a classified event and she has each-way claims; acts on firm and soft ground.

Form & Verdict
Unplaced in three runs in this grade in 2024 but his effort at Newcastle last time, where he travelled strongly but saw no daylight, hinted that he isn't a lost cause; rider's claim is a bonus and this is a poor race, even by 0-50 standards; one of two runners on the card for Linda Perratt (just three runners here before, one a 22-1 winner and the other two placed).
