Castlejohn should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. NYMPHADORA (10) frustrating mare resuming. Unlucky not to have a few more wins on the CV and returns in a winnable race on her home track. Closed well in her only trial and can get the better of these fresh. SPRIGHTLY AFFAIR (8) scored a dominant win first-up when she ploughed through the heavy going over 900m at Newcastle. Looks up to this tougher contest from the good gate. MAIDOFF (3) resumes and looks set for a big campaign after the two good trials. Came to the end of his prep with a fast finishing fourth over 1200m at Gosford last April. Leading contender at the good odds. DIRTY SUMMER (2) resumes. Went out a winner over this track and trip last May in a Super Maiden. Fitted with the two trials and ticks a few boxes with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nymphadora can assert her class today.
