Has raised her game the last twice and admirably consistent; favourite and not beaten far here over 7f (maiden) last month; can give it a good shot as recent performance was encouraging.

Finished fifth, beaten a fair way over 1m2f here (maiden) 14 days ago; has arguably shown improved form the last twice; could go well as she finished second last month.

Last of nine here over 6f (maiden) last month; still winless and defeats stacking up (ten on the bounce); this looks a decent race so may have to settle for supporting role at best.

Did well from an unfavourable starting berth in a maiden plate when beaten just over 1l to finish second two weeks ago; not had much racing - fifth outing here; career is progressing; one to consider.

Has raised her game the last twice but still winless and defeats stacking up (14 on the bounce); solid run when third over 7f here (maiden) dropped back in distance last Friday.

This just her fourth race; appears to be going forwards; not beaten far when runner-up in a maiden plate last month; respected with a good draw to help.

Yet to open her account after 15 starts; found life tough when 6l back in fifth over 7f here (maiden, not far behind Bai Yulu) two weeks ago; easy to oppose with a number of her rivals in good nick.

Verdict
Burning Desire should be in the hunt, and Bai Yulu has been stacking up some good efforts. However, it is hard to get away from WEEKEND IN ASPEN. She has been handed a decent draw.
