| Eleven races without a win this season and has been seen running on over this1200mtrs so may yet need further. May try to make the running and burn off her rivals but hard to fancy off this rating. | ||||||||

| A C&D winner last time out but a ratings rise of 6lb seems very harsh for an "on the nod" victory, and she may find this a lot harder. Could be improving but that seems unlikely. | ||||||||

| Lightly raced daughter of Var who won her maiden at the 8th attempt over C&D last time out in June and was then as good 2nd on her handicap debut. Left on the same mark here and must have a shot. | ||||||||

| Three places and a win in her last 4 starts, all over C&D suggest she can win again today off a sensible rating of 50. Stable in OK form, and with her track experience that could swing it. | ||||||||

After removing the deadwood we are left with precious few challengers and ANTARCTICA leads the pack with her love of the C&D just giving her the edge. Villa Floriana is a nice filly and could well take second-place prize money for Cliffie Miller though connections of Rhythm In Red will have something to say about that no doubt. |
