Previous winner Kalahari Queen holds obvious claims but may struggle to defy a penalty and preference is for RAISED ON GRAZEON. Running well in all three of her novice hurdles so far she showed she handles soft ground when finishing second to subsequent Grade 1 winner Sam Spinner in a bumper, and probably only needs to improve a small bit on what she's shown to get off the mark here. Paper Roses is another who has placed in a few races now and is also considered.
