Verdict
WINDS OF GRACE is finding it hard to win but deserves a reward for her consistency. The switch back to same-sex company off an unchanged mark under a 1.5kg claimer looks a shrewd move. Class-droppers WISE COUNSEL, FISH HAWK and REFLECTIVE have the means to be competitive but they are drawn wide, so a bigger threat will likely come from LADY ELLIOT and DELAWARE RIVER who have recent course-and-distance form. Last-start maiden winner ONCEINABLUEMOON can also get into the picture.
