9/2

2/1, bit below form third of 8 in handicap at Brighton (11.9f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Looks competitive on form and drop in trip should suit her. Leading player.

9/1

Below form seventh of 16 in handicap (2/1) at Nottingham (10.2f, good to firm) 31 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others more persuasive.

7/1

Forecasts

Tundra (3/1), Mrs Meader (9/2), Chiavari (5/1), Nick Vedder (6/1), Anniemation (7/1), Turn Of Phrase (9/1), Castle Quarter (12/1), Bird To Love (14/1), Ilhabela Fact (22/1), Cafe Sydney (40/1)

MRS MEADER is consistent and possibly found 12f too much at Brighton last time. Dropping in trip, she could have been found a good opportunity to shed her maiden tag here. Tundra is a big threat under her penalty for winning at Ayr. Castle Quarter looks best of the rest.
