Genuine tempo with the speedy African Kingfisher leading the way. LADY SUNSHINE (3) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fourth over 1200m at Kenilworth. Rates on top and is a great chance to break through. AFRICAN KINGFISHER (4) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 4.5 lengths from the winner in fifth at Kenilworth over 1200m. Wound up strongly late. Expected to finish much closer with the race experience on board. VIRGINIA BLUEBELL (12) returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a ninth over 1200m at Kenilworth. Good effort to kick-off last prep when in the money at Kenilworth over 1200m. Among the chances while fresh. BEAUTIFUL STRANGER (10) is facing the starter for the first time. By Gold Standard and hails from the Justin Snaith stable. Watch the market closely.
