It is hard to see Bisoubiosu not being far away as she arrives in form and has gone well here previously. She holds no secrets from the handicapper, whereas Mabela and SEE FOREVER are much less exposed. The former was mid-division in a race that has worked out well last time and there is a possibility she has got in here lightly. The selection looks the more guaranteed stayer of the pair judged on pedigree and her point-to-point form. She was out of her depth last time, but she was brought down when travelling sweetly on her previous start, in similar company to this, and she is expected to make her presence felt.
