CAMINEL bids for a hat-trick of course and distance victories off a 3lb higher mark. She finished ahead of a subsequent winner last time and may come out best in what looks a bit of a lottery. Gabrial's Wawa also has decent claims on his recent second here and Lujeanie finished ahead of Profile Star and Black Vale when runner-up over track and trip a fortnight ago. Calling You and Saskia's Dream were both placed over 6f last time but 5f winner Burnt Cream was engaged to run here yesterday.
