On target three times in her last six outings; useful in this grade; fair effort when 1½l fifth to Ladyofdistinction at Greyville over Christmas in a Listed race; must be respected as she has defied a similar absence in the past and dropping in class.

Verdict
The principals look evenly matched but LADYOFDISTINCTION looks the most likely winner. She is going for another success at this trip and can confirm placings with Tomyris and Ice Rain, who were behind her when last seen. Miss Twinkle must enter calculations.
