FINAL FANTASY was a three-time winner in 2021 and signalled she's ready to go in again when a good fourth here last month. She was down the field at this course on Wednesday, but is respected on pick of her form. Matilda With Me is next on the list on the back of her recent C&D third, with C&D scorer Clueless Hill appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
