Strong tempo with Mia's Athena, Get In The Q and Icy Eleanor leading the charge. CONVOCATION (4) is better than her last start run would suggest. Her three starts prior to that outing were good. Three of her six career victories have come on this course. S'manga Khumalo steps back into the saddle and she may be the horse to side with. ICY ELEANOR (8) is better than her last start run as she was reported to be not striding out. She is having her peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. VISION TO ACHIEVE (6) is a winner of her last two starts over this course and distance. She is in a good space and with Andrew Fortune in the saddle, she can bring up the hat-trick. CAPTAIN'S CHRISTY (1) returns from a spell which may have done her the world of good. Two of her three career victories have come over this course and distance. She will be mowing down the frontrunners at the finish.
