The booking of De Sousa to partner Majestic Girl is an eye-catching one and any market support there will be worth noting. Rising Sunshine has gone well over C&D already this year and may do again but VIOLA PARK looks the one to be with. A previous C&D winner, she's run well in three visits here recent over this trip and can gain some reward in the capable hands of Luke Morris. Bogsnog and Lucki Di are another worth look at in an open heat.
