Aquae Sulis

J: J Gates

T: D C Howells

Not beaten too far at 4-1 when fifth of seven (this trip Greyville Polytrack, fillies handicap) last month; has won here before but a long time since she saw any reward for her efforts; hard to see her taking this with this looking tougher than last time

Back To Black

J: M Yeni

T: P V Lafferty

Sprang a 25-1 shock over Christmas at Greyville on first run for his current trainer when dropped back to 6f in what looked a warm stakes race; he should give it a bold bid despite being up in class

Bayview Express

Artic Tune

J: K Matsunyane

T: M Dixon

Ran well to finish runner-up (beaten 2½l) with blinkers reapplied (Greyville) when dropped down to 1m last month, form boosted by the third and sixth going on to win; course specialist who has won four times here; this looks tougher but hard to ignore
