Flattered by her proximity to useful Sheela, WHAT A HONEY did exceptionally well on debut and should prove the one to beat. SUPER TANAYE showed improvement last time and could get into the mix. SMELTING is battling to crack a win but could get into the trifecta. Watch first-timer FAEEZAHS PRINCESS.

Only filly in the race, ROZARA races in her new surroundings after a rest and the 4,5kg sex allowance could do it for her. If not at peak fitness then LULU'S BOY should capitalise and get his just reward. KING'S SPEAR showed up well after a rest and with blinkers on now could get involved in the finish. PHAKA IMALI found some support on debut but showed inexperience and will come on. TRUE BRIT could make the quartet.

Small but competitive field. JOE HARMAN is having his peak run and looks ready to strike. STAY THE COURSE finished strongly last time and will relish the extra. Stablemates LIGHT WARRIOR and PARKER GETRIX are running close up and either could get into the action. BRENNER PASS is another threatening to exit the maidens and is not out of it.

5-year-old mare LUCKY SHAMROCK has been knocking and could finally be rewarded for her perseverance. She holds RAPID CHARGE on form but the latter has more scope for improvement. MAGIC TOWN improved over the longer trip and should make her presence felt. HIGH FLYBY, TIME REQUEST, BOLD DECISION and BURMESE TIARA are all capable of getting into the mix.

FLINDERS RANGE is running close up and holds MIKE THE PILOT on their last meeting. BLONDE ACT needed his first run as a gelding and will come on in heaps. THIS GENERATION was backed on debut but never recovered after a slow start - respect. MADABOUT FASHION and POMODORO HILLS are looking for minor money.

BIG EYED GIRL looks well above average and cruised home in her second outing. The one to beat. MALVERN comes off a rest but could be her biggest danger. MAGIC CHOICE could turn it around with ALEX THE GREAT being 4kg better for a short head on their meeting in May. MADAME PATRICE found form sporting blinkers but races before this - watch the form.

Competitive. Stable companions GLOBAL RANSOM and FROMHERETOETERNITY should match strides. When they last met the latter finished a head in front but is 3,5kg worse off. MONEY FIGHTER beat AFTER HOURS by a diminishing neck last time and the 1,5kg difference could bring them together. FUNKY MUSIC has a chance if taking his place.

MIRACLE AND WONDER found the minimum distance a bit sharp last time and could find her action better over the extra 200m. BLUE EYES was not striding out last time when going down by a head and could feature. MIDNIGHT GEM found problems last time and will prefer the straight. MIDNIGHT CALLER races with blinkers before this - watch. GRAPPLER was rested after his maiden win and could need it. RAMCHANDANI ROAD is better than recent form. SILLY FELLA and ROSE WILLOW could place.
