NIKKA (1) started favourite at the last run before a break but could only manage second at this track. Can pick up where she left off. Rates on top and is a great chance to open the campaign with a win. MALUMA (4) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only one length from the winner at the end of 1000m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. DAME D'OR (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1200m. Likely to play a major role. DALHELIZBOA (6) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 1000m at this track, clocking in 2.25 lengths from the winner. Has sound form here at this trip with two wins and six minor placings from 17 runs. Ticks all the right boxes.
