Don't Tell Claire hasn't found form this term, although it's worth noting she was sent off market leader last time when last of eight. Her best from last season would see her competitive. In contrast, Celtic Empress is having a really consistent time of things, should run her race and seems to be taking the steady rise through the ratings in her stride. She's expected to go close but PROFESSIONAL WIDOW has a course win this term and has been highly tried on her two subsequent starts in the context of this race and will appreciate the drop in grade. Wise Judgement disappointed last time but it would not be the greatest surprise to see the Johnston filly bounce back.
