Peach Melba is the obvious starting point after she finally broke the duck at Chepstow last month. She appears to be a typical Johnston grinder and will seek to force her rivals into submission from the front. The forecast faster ground is much less of a concern than the likely late finishing thrust of BAHAMIAN BIRD. She ran well over C&D last month when runner up to Cheerfully and returns off the same mark seeking to cap off another productive day at the office for the ever feared Fahey/Hanagan partnership.
- Bahamian Bird
