MADEMOISELLE BELLE has found only well-treated rivals too good in consecutive runner-up efforts and can gain a deserved success back at this course where she's performed well previously. The Tunguska Event won nicely here in November and the headgear switch to a visor could spark a revival after recent disappointments. Ya Habibti still looks a work-in-progress but this shorter trip may suit given her keenness.
