Finished just behind Green Flash when third in December (Vaal) in a handicap; not had much racing - fourth outing here; returns from a layoff; Craig Zackey a noteworthy booking.

Finished seventh, beaten a fair way in a handicap (close behind Versace Onthetrack) last month; has won here before; a while since she's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in October); a lot on her plate here and one to tread carefully with.

Fair effort when beaten just over 3l, finishing fourth of ten 12 days ago in a handicap; likes this combination of C&D; shown she can win fairly recently and one to be interested in.

Has been fairly consistent of late; from a top trainer; displayed a fair level of form when 3½l third last month (Vaal) in a handicap; much respected.

Beaten narrowly four weeks ago in a handicap; has scored over C&D; string of consistent efforts of late; off a higher mark; she's an attractive contender.

On target twice in her last three outings; performed below market expectations when seventh in a handicap in April; facing a testing assignment and hard to recommend.

Beaten a fair way when seventh in February (Vaal) in a handicap; stepped up on her last two starts; this only her second handicap outing; has had some time off; a few rivals look in good form so others more persuasive.

Verdict

Tempranillo is one to be interested in, and Versace Onthetrack is one to consider. However, LOVABLE looks a solid choice. She bids for a second course success.
