Baylini can defy a penalty to score here; the list of dangers is headed by Kindlelight Blue and Baan. The selection has had her problems in the past but she destroyed her field last time when she was good value for her winning margin and she should be hard to stop. Mark Johnston has got his runners in good form at present and Baan was well supported in the market before chasing home Dado Mush last time. However, he is a horse who has had plenty of chances and more often than not he disappoints. Kindlelight Blue deadheated here last time with Mutamassek and he has now won three times at this track so he has to be afforded respect. Art Man is another that goes well here so he can also be given a chance, but Baylini bolted up last time and she is a confident choice to win again.
