Solid effort two months ago when back to 6f in a stakes race; strong claims from a beneficial draw and she knows how to win.

Could not manage better than sixth when dropped back to 6f last month in a Grade 3; has proven competitive in a race of this nature and despite a poor last run, she had been running well previously; not discounted now dropping in class and shown she can win fairly recently.

Well held in the Grade 1 Douglas Whyte (Greyville) in July, behind Frozen Fantasy; returns from an absence here; now drops in class but easy to oppose.

Beaten 8l (ninth) five weeks ago in a Listed race; low strike-rate of 1-13; might find this easier.

Verdict
Pointer could have a say, and Frozen Fantasy is a major threat to the tip. However, FRANCILIEN is a confident pick. She knows how to get her head in front and has a favourable draw in stall one.
