There are a few doubts about a number of the runners set to take their chance so it may pay to stick with the in-form Nanna, who is expected to confirm recent form with Short Chorus and Obe Bold en route to victory. The Reg Hollinshead-trained filly is holding her form well this season and arrives here at the very top of her game with three wins gained from her last five starts. The two rivals mentioned before will not make it easy for the selection though and both are entitled to plenty of respect this afternoon. Obe Bold making the most appeal on these terms as she may find this track more to her liking. Others to note in the betting include: Bella Boy Zee and Only If I Laugh, who hail from a yard that are now stepping things up a gear again, while the well Kamenka should have benefited from her reappearance and should make a bold bid under top weight. However, she is a prime candidate to be a victim of the bounce and is also opposed with Nanna, who has been found a good opportunity to extend her winning run in this company.
