Lucky Ava (9/4), Shanghai Rock (3/1), True Hero (5/1), Storm Melody (11/2), Ocean Eyes (11/2), Sir Hector (11/1)

LUCKY AVA has managed to keep finding a bit more improvement all year to edge ahead of the handicapper and she posted a career best over C&D last time. She should be able to build on that to bring her second double of the season up. Storm Melody and True Hero look the best alternatives in a trappy contest.
