EARLY STORM (1) was game in defeat off the inside draw last start, finishing second and beaten a neck (24.45) behind Geneva Betsy at this track. Overdue and is among the main hopes. GLORIANA (2) could manage only fifth at this track last time but caught the eye when clocking a swift 24.32 over 400m at this track three starts back. Has the ability and can find winning form again. MARIAS GIRL (6) finds it hard to break through. Has hit the frame at her last five runs, the latest finishing third (24.48) at this track. Solid record at the distance winning six races. Expected to be in the finish again. VELVET ACE (3) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by 0.8 lengths last start at this track over 400m (24.40). Faces tougher but hard to fault latest and worth including.
