Crazierthandaisy (1/1), Hello Cello (4/1), Jakana (8/1), Getaways Gift (17/2), Chocolate Hobbnob (9/1), Taralote (14/1), Silver Hill Flyer (28/1), Nobody's Perfect (33/1), Hurley Girly (50/1), Santiago Sunset (200/1)

CRAZIERTHANDAISY showed plenty of ability first time out and has the potential to improve, so she's a straightforward choice for all that Hello Cello is a notable newcomer for a stable with a good record in this sphere. Chocolate Hobbnob also makes appeal.
