Verdict
Maura's Gift won this a year ago but hasn't scored subsequently and is on a 5lb lower mark though Robert Whearty claimed 4lb that day. Deluca Chop made a bold bid to lead all over the extended 1m2f track in September but was caught in the dying strides. SIOUX PRINCESS won a low-grade handicap over the track and trip and didn't get the best of runs over shorter last month. She looks capable of winning again as Nevada Brave's best form has been over shorter and Humtaza has never won.
