Good pace from Like A Butterfly, Keenia's Princess and Bird On A Wing and they'll have company. BIRD ON A WING (3) ran a creditable race when fourth over this distance on the polytrack last time. Despite racing wide around the turn, she stayed on well at the finish. The tongue-tie remains fitted and with Craig Zackey in the saddle, she should go close. FANTASY GIRL (4) tried hard when second over 1600m on the polytrack last time. She finished third in her only course and distance attempt. Kendall Minnie retains the ride, and she should be competitive. LADY BOMBER (1) ran a fair race in her local debut over 1200m on this course. She would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. She has scope and can finish in the money. AMANATTO (2) has been in the market at her last couple of starts since resuming from a spell but hasn't made an impression, last start running fifth at Fairview All Weather. Rates among the leading chances this time.
