FREED FROM DESIRE defied a market drift when an eye-catching 2nd on debut over this track and trip. She takes on older and male rivals for the first time but should come on with experience so could be hard to hold out under a light weight with natural improvement expected. STRONG CASHA and SOUTH BOY are both likely improvers capable of challenging for honours. WATCH YOUR MOUTH and OUR SECRET have earning potential too. Watch the betting on the Tarry newcomers.

Nice race. Versatile GALLIC PRINCESS ran well in defeat against the boys over a similar trip in a feature last time and on that form rates the runner to beat under favourable conditions. Joint best-weighted SARAH is held by that rival on recent form but capable of posing more of a threat in these calmer waters. Progressive last-start winner TROPIC SUN has a bit to find on these terms but could be better than rated, so must be respected and included. DOUBLE 'O' EIGHT and POOL PARTY are both capable sorts and unlikely to be far off the action.

I DREAM OF GENIE was short in the betting on debut and ran with promise, staying on to finish 2nd over shorter. With that experience under her belt and natural improvement expected over this trip, she could well go one better. Of the other raced runners, ROSE WILLOW and returning LADY OF THE FLAME make most appeal. However, a bigger threat could come from newcomers BEYOND THE RUNWAY and WOKONDA - watch the betting.

ELECTRIC BOOTS has been threatening to shed her maiden tag and taken well to racing with blinkers on, so should again acquit herself competitively. Well-related improver PRINCESS THIANA is maturing and getting closer to opening her account. With further progress likely, she should go close. ARIZONA LADY wouldn't be scoring out of turn having run second in her last 2 starts, so can fight it out. SIREN OF GREECE and JUST MAGIC appear best of the rest.

Tricky. PARALLAX has filled the runner-up berth in both starts with blinkers and another forward showing can be expected with the headgear retained. ENIGMA CODE has been threatening in recent starts and on current form should have a say. CLARKSON has hinted at ability and has scope for improvement, so could fight out the finish if making progress stepped up in trip. SOLDIERS SONG runs well for apprentices so is likely to make his presence felt under a 4kg claimer. Both BLACK THORN and BRAVE JACKSON are improving so could also play a role in the outcome.

Good race. LILY BLUE is unbeaten over this trip and weighted to reverse the form of a recent meeting with DESTINYS GAME, who will strip fitter for that pleasing comeback run so likely to run well. SARAGON and FORT ANNE finished in the money in a feature over track and trip when last seen, so both warrant respect. SHIVERS had excuses for finishing behind those rivals last time but is capable of better and could turn the tables.

Good race. ARYAAM won the Oaks Trial as a maiden and on that evidence, should continue on her upward trajectory. She has a progressive profile and is taken to land this Listed contest with further improvement expected going this trip. Distance-suited SMOKING HOT sets a good standard and is likely to expose any chinks in that rival's armour. KAY TEE PERRY and VIROCANA are unexposed over this distance but are in good form and will make their presence felt if effective over the extra. OCEAN FOREST and SHE'S A CRACKER are closely matched on recent form and capable of staking a claim too.

Intriguing contest. 2019 Dingaans winner SHANGO is unbeaten over this distance and returns from a rest, during which he was gelded, and has scope for improvement. He could have big targets on his agenda later this campaign and will need a big run on these terms on which to build. Exciting PUERTO MANZANO will have his followers and is likely to pose the biggest threat to the selection with race fitness on his side. RIVERSTOWN and PACK LEADER have the form and ability to make their presence felt, while ELUID is also capable of getting a look-in. Debut winner INFINITE WONDER could be anything!

Tricky. Maturing PIN UP has won 2 of her last 3 and races off a career-high mark. She could take another step forward to fight out the finish. IN LIMBO is held on form by that rival but would've needed that run and will tighten up for it. ULULATE, ROCK YOU and LADY AMHERST have rock solid form credentials and will keep their rivals honest. Last-start maiden winners LEE EXPRESS and IRISH WILLOW are likely improvers capable of staking a claim too.
