With a couple that like to go forward in Stosur and Chosen Character this should be a well run race with Midnight Whistler a fascinating candidate even if this trip does look a little on the short side. Ravenhoe is rather in-and-out but is capable of winning a race such as this but ZARIA a C&D winner is given the nod to get back to winning form with her mark now looking one she can cope with and win off.
