Head Turner has been racing from out of her class since winning a novices' handicap at Fairyhouse and this is more her grade. Erkindale Lady has looked a bit high in the weights since landing a handicap on the latter track while three-times hurdles winner Kilganer Queen hasn't shown enough in two starts over fences to merit consideration, a remark that also applies to Field Exhibition. BOLD SKY was a bit disappointing when strongly fancied at Down Royal but she has some scope and this isn't the most testing of races so she's handed the vote.
