Strong tempo to be established by Lucienne, Comic Relief and Littleblackvelvet. Good race with some talented fillies engaged. HIERARCHY (3) was narrowly beaten over 1000m latest but the start prior was placed in Grade 2 class over this journey in the Debutante, beaten just a neck. Would go close here on that run. COMIC RELIEF (5) is another talented type. Won first two starts then tackled the Grade 1 Robertson Championship when finishing midfield. That's good form for this and will go close fresh. WINTER RAINFALL (7) has been freshened since a disappointing run last time. Mixing form but a leading rider goes aboard and among the main chances on best. BUTTERCUP BABY (1) is fitter for one run back when too speedy for her rivals here, leading throughout. Has the claim and inside draw and will take catching again.
