HURRICANE HELEN produced her best effort to date starting out for her new stable when second in a handicap 5 days ago and, with most of her rivals out of form, she might be able to go one better down in grade. Her stablemate Aljady is a threat if she can bounce back from some poor efforts and My Little Tip also merits consideration in a tricky race.
