SECOND FIDDLE has been completely transformed since joining the Jardine yard, winning all four starts including three wins over this course and distance, the latest a very easy success just three days ago. She's fancied to defy a penalty and land the 5-timer, though Electric Avenue has bounced right back to form at Newcastle of late and rates a danger. Recent course runner-up Tees George is hit and miss but has claims if on a going day.
