Couldn't land a blow on her debut at Turffontein at 8-1 last June; from powerful trainer; returns from a layoff; looks likely to be involved as seemingly there is more to come from this nicely bred daughter of Lancaster Bomber and she could step up.

Verdict

This tight-looking race poses an interesting puzzle but DESERT CLOUD is worth siding with. She can bounce back from a below-par effort when last seen. Hubertus Hunt runs for a top trainer, Empress Wu is lining up on the back of some good runs, and Japanese Garden is a major threat to the tip.
