Abundant pace from Crafty Crofty, Blush Of Dawn and Ilha Da Orange vying for the lead with Acacia's Blossom on their backs. HAPPY FORTUNE (3) showed good signs of a form return over 1400m on this course last time when finishing second of 12 on her second run this prep. She raced from a handy position and had to be steadied at the 1000m mark. She has won third-up previously and with a bit of luck in the running can return to winning form. PAPILLON BLU (10) followed up her maiden win with an equally impressive victory over this course and distance. Gavin Lerena rides and with a bit of luck in the running can bring up the hat-trick. CRAFTY CROFTY (9) was an easy winner of her last start over 1000m on the turf. She returns from a spell after having won her only run last pep. She takes on stronger rivals but has scope and should give a good account of herself. BEAUTIFUL RANIA (5) kept finding to win her last start over 1400m at Scottsville. She is at her best over a longer trip but is in a good space and is worth considering.
