A moderate affair and with Paul Henderson among the winners it might be the day to catch EASTER IN PARIS. This is only her second start for the trainer and she showed some encouraging signs first time around, while she remains on the same mark today. Running Wolf looks likely to be in the contest for prize money, while both Johns Luck and Trojan Star can be in the shake-up. 1. Easter In Paris 2. Trojan Star 3. Johns Luck
