Ioweyou can end a string of seconds, with Shantina's Dream and Hereford Boy seen as the main dangers. Ioweyou has been runner-up on five of her last six outings on the all-weather, running out of steam in the closing stages on each occasion. Stan Moore's filly has plenty going for her on this return to Turf though, receiving weight from all as she lines up on a mark of 56. The fast conditions will help her cause as she bids to open her account, with the opposition not very inspiring. The best of them may be Shantina's Dream who starts the season on what could be a handy mark, but she will need to have improved and has an absence to overcome. Hereford Boy is drawn in stall one and can go well next to the rail, but he looks nothing special, while My Drop will do well to give weight away to the selection, which just has to be Ioweyou.
