TRISHULI RIVER hasn't done much wrong since switched to the all-weather and her latest effort over this C&D a fortnight ago was eye-catching. She was behind Rock Basher that day but may well reverse those placings, provided she doesn't get caught so far back this time. Rock Basher should give another account, while Nibras Rainbow is also accorded respect.
