CONFIDENTIALITY lost no caste in defeat last time and she can return to winning ways here at the main expense of Winter Fever and Mafeking. Michael Wigham's 6-year-old wasn't beaten far over this course and distance last time when she finished third behind Mister Green. She was denied a clear run that day so she could be considered a little unlucky and her overall strike-rate on the all-weather makes her an obvious contender. Winter Fever could be the fly in the ointment as he won well last time out and he remains unexposed, but he tackles this longer trip for the first time today. Mafeking is a course and distance winner who went close here last time and off his current mark he is clearly capable of getting competitive again. Baylini and Suits Me have both won over the course and distance and they could represent some each-way value, but Confidentiality was unlucky last time and she can get back to winning ways.
