QUEENS VENTURE perhaps found a busy spell catching up with her at Wetherby last time and is well worth another chance given how progressive she'd looked prior to that. Midnightreflection should be sharper for her recent run and isn't one to write off from a slipping mark, with Batwomen and Scarlet O'Tara others to consider in an open race.
