Expecting Lady De Lune to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. KATIM'S CLUB (2) has failed to threaten in her last two but has found some handy enough rivals. Profiles strongly on the short turnaround and gets the blinkers on first time to sharpen her up. Two-time winner at this track, expect her to take closer order and prove hard to stop. CHAMPAGNE EFFORT (1) offered little last start when sent around long odds but had been ticking along nicely previously in a similar grade to this. Neindorf piloting for Stokes reads favourably. Worth forgiving. Smaller cases can also be made for OUR GODDESS (5) and PIWHANE (6) on best figures. Keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Katim's Club to bounce back.
