Arrogant Heart and Prideofthebigfish can be prominent. CATALINA DREAMING (4) has been racing well without winning. Arrives on a 7-day return and Stanley stays aboard. Finally jumps from a low barrier and dropping back to the shorter sprint suits better. FAST MISSILE (1) was a comfortable Maiden winner on debut and has been freshened. Butler sticks and is likely to push forward. He has upside and back-to-back wins can't be ruled out. WEMYSS (6) resumes and is proven fresh. She's capable and will use the inside barrier. The extra gear comes off and keep her onside. Wiggins takes over from Butler on PRIDEOFTHEBIGFISH (3) who presents off a deserved Maiden win. He draws wide and that makes it tougher. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Catalina Dreaming.
