Novacella, She's Our Native and Kildee Lass are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to Novacella. The selection won well last time out when beating Hi Laurie and although having a penalty for that win the second has since franked the form and under similar conditions here she is taken to win again. She's Our Native rates the main danger on her latest third behind Kings Rock she goes well at the track but she looks weighted up to her best and for that reason is opposed. Kildee Lass is another worthy of respect on her latest second behind Indian Star but her best form is over a slightly longer trip. Of the remainder Magical Legend has won her last two races in good style but this looks more competitive and she will need to improve again to score and for the winner we return to Novacella whose form looks rock solid.
