Formscan - GRAY BELLE (8) returned to form with an encouraging 2nd in a course-and-distance conditions race, won by SAGE DREAM (3), at the beginning of the month and needs only to confirm that improvement to avenge that defeat on slightly better (0,5kg) weight terms. That latter, on the evidence of that recent victory, remains a candidate for success, along with SICILIA (5) who was 3rd in that benchmark event and will race with first-time blinkers fitted. Consistent SLEEPY SUZY (7) isn't underestimated and should acquit herself competitively, too.
