5/1
Has been running well in handicaps recently, having found this as her appropriate level and relished the recent step up to 1m. There could be even more to come with the slight increase in trip today, and she remains progressive. Makes her Tapeta debut here.

5/4
Races on the Tapeta for the first time having shown good form on the Polytrack. Acquitted herself well on her all her recent starts without managing to get her head in front, and she has a leading chance in what could be a less competitive race than she's used to.

0/10 in her career so far but has run some decent races in defeat, including when beaten only 2L over C&D in a maiden in February. Handicap debut was nothing special but the longer trip here should suit in first time blinkers.

4/1
Showed good form in a couple of maidens before a long break, returning to the track in December with a tame performance over further here. An effort over 1m2f at Newcastle last week was slightly more like it, though she had Mercy Me 2L ahead of her on that occasion, and they both remain on the same mark for this.

15/2
Without a win in nine starts so far, but went close over shorter a couple of times, including at this course. Her last couple of performances have been less encouraging, and she has questions to answer over this longer trip.

Forecasts

Mercy Me (5/4), Star Of Lombardy (4/1), Ms Gillard (5/1), Remember Me (5/1), Indigo Princess (15/2)

Verdict

This could go the way of MERCY ME, who has been running well over very slightly further than this recently, often just failing to get home in strongly run races. With a furlong less in front of her in addition to the likelihood of a more sensible pace should be exactly what she wants, as long as she takes to this surface on her first appearance on it. Remember Me is another with strong claims with her impressive recent form and progressive profile, while Ms Gillard could relish today's step up in trip.
