The Name Is Frank was just nosed out of it over 6f here last time and should be thereabouts again, but Ron Hodges is taken to land a quick double with MISS FIREFLY preferred. She also went very close when runner-up at this track last week and can go one better today confirming running with Crimson Queen, My Meteor and What Katie Did in the process. Little Perisher has slipped down the weights and could prove best of the rest.
