Not beaten too far when sixth here in a Grade 2 18 days ago; has achieved seven wins from 28 career runs and good record here of three wins from 13 runs; booking of G Lerena takes the eye; an easier task than his previous race.

Didn't live up to market expectations at 9-4 when eighth in a Grade 2 (not far behind Destiny Of Fire) two weeks ago; has achieved six wins from 17 career runs; should not be far away if the form of her last victory can be replicated and lower class is a plus.

Verdict

There is not much between these on figures. Night Bomber is on the shortlist while Chasing Happiness should be looked at. However, ALMOND SEA is hard to get away from. She is bidding for her sixth course success and can turn around placings with Destiny Of Fire from last time they met.
