CHAMPAGNE ON ICE (4) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Generally takes a sit but the draw makes it tricky. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. NEUTRAL CAUSE (1) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 0.8 lengths away in second at this track (Dirt). Must raise the bar but a big run will not surprise. WAVE SKIPPER (2) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1609m at Turfway Park. One to consider. SONHO DE VERAO (5) was beaten 12 lengths into fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. Nicely placed to find some form.
