Previous C&D winner MREMBO ran creditably in a higher grade when a close third at Windsor 11 days ago and she's taken to end her losing streak back down in class. Villalobos returned to form with a good second over C&D 18 days ago and rates the main danger with Galactic Glow, a three-time C&D winner, completing the shortlist.
