Pearlita has won three of her last five starts. She's on a career-high mark but is probably the one to beat in this given the standard of opposition, though we are taking a chance on PENNYWELL. The seven-year-old has a long absence to overcome but she hails from a yard that can get one ready at home and she has shown ability in most of her runs over timber. Sauvignon has only managed one worthwhile effort so far but makes more appeal than Coole Charmer and those in the bottom half of the handicap.
