This represents a good opportunity for WARMER DAYS AHEAD, who posted much his best effort yet when runner-up in this headgear combination here recently and he shoud have more to offer. Great Rainbow was hot on the heels of the selection in that handicap, finishing third, and he is likely to be on the premises once again, while it's still early says for Del Girl and she makes each-way appeal on the back of an encouraging effort at Down Royal.
