With most of these juveniles out of form in the early parts of their careers it may be better to side with the likes of the solid and improving CHERNISH who can open her account at the sixth time of asking for trainer Fozzy Stack. The speedy gelding Rangefield Express and the potentially progressive Dancing Mountain appear to be the biggest dangers while Emily Grace could out-run her odds in the opening contest.
