Three time winner including twice over this C&D. Most recent victory came on good-to-soft ground off a mark of 66 last month and she is one to note despite disappointing last time.

Forecasts

Riviere Argentee (2/1), Bertie Moon (11/4), Lester Kris (3/1), Shalamzar (11/2), What Usain (8/1), Dream Free (10/1), Simmo's Partytrick (33/1), Lord Franklin (66/1), Plastiki (100/1), Rip Van Go (200/1)

RIVIERE ARGENTEE can put a disappointing effort last time out behind her by taking this claiming contest. The selection was a winner over C&D on her previous start and she can take this with Lester Kris who is making his debut for this yard capable of chasing her home. Of the other runners it can fall to What Usain who wears blinkers for the first time to claim third.
