CATCH MY BREATH is down to a career-low mark and he's been found a suitable opportunity to end his losing run. He's got an admirable strike rate and has strong claims of gaining another win here down in class. Junoesque has to be taken seriously as she bids for the C&D hat-trick. Selecto may bounce back off a handy-looking mark, too.
