Winged Harriet, Sparkling Crystal and Arrivederla make the shortlist here with WINGED HARRIET a confident selection as she takes a massive drop in class. Sparkling Crystal has been running well without winning and hails from the all conquering Barry Hills yard. She makes her seasonal re-appearance here and may find the selection too quick. Arrivederla was unfancied when making her debut at Kempton but ran a blinder, staying on to be a close third. She will have learned from the experience and can go well. Just touched off in her maiden, Winged Harriet ran an excellent race in the Tattersalls Sales race in a return trip to Headquarters, slowly away but staying on effectively to be good fourth in that big field. Winged Harriet's form seems to be on a different level to her rivals and she can take this before moving up the ladder.
