Plenty of pressure from Harper's Way, Falcon's Sunrise and Leanne's Love battling for the lead over Rhum De Vie. WISE COUNSEL (12) has produced two decent races to date. She stayed on when third over 1160m on the Standside course last time. She is a progressive type and will love the rise to 1450m. With a bit of luck in the running she may find herself in the winner's enclosure. WINDS OF GRACE (1) returns from a spell which would have done her the world of good. She finished second over this course and distance last time, despite excuses. If not in need of the run, she can finish in the money. RENDEVOUS IN RIO (2) found one too good on the day last time. The manner in which she finishes off her races suggests that she will love the rise to 1450m. With a bit of luck in the running, she can feature. ASIAH'S TIARA (3) improved last time out, finishing second over 1500m at this track. Likely improver with each-way claims.
