Ms Thompson ran well here in the middle of last month and forced a dead-heat on a return visit 10 days later. She's up 5lb but on the upgrade so has to be respected and just holds Magic Charm on the latter run. Quiet Desire was racing over this trip for the first time when headed on the line last week and Danny Sheehy's claim will again be a plus. Treble Cone has never won here but has been staying on over a mile and Sam Ewing is excellent value for his 7lb claim. PHILLY'S HOPE is 0-19 and has never raced over this trip. However, she's been running on strongly over a mile and is on such a lowly mark that a chance is taken she stays the distance.
