It may be worth forgiving GAINSAY a below-par run last time out, as the filly is generally consistent and looks one of the most reliable options in a weak finale. Flying Sakhee ran a blinder to win last time out but needs to prove that wasn't just a one-off performance, so there may be more mileage in opting for Baby Gal as the best alternative. Hilight appeals most from those making their debuts in a handicap.
