PINK AZALEA was much improved when successful on handicap debut last time and is proven on a softer surface, should the rainfall materialise. She's preferred to Groundhog who arrives on the back of a career-best effort but may not get such a strong pace to aim at here, while Captain Cess has some solid form and should benefit from the application of headgear. Sweet Kiss could be the improver on handicap debut and is worth noting for market support.
