An open sprint with LOTUS ROSE catching the eye after a convincing recent course and distance success when always looking the likely winner. She's berthed in the same number two stall today and may repeat the dose despite a rise in class and a 6lb hike from the handicapper. Helvetique is usually thereabouts and should be competitive for her in-form stable while Phinow is another southern raider with claims, though Swayze could prove the main danger as he's been showing up well and now takes a drop in grade. The Burke pair, Fast Response and Lullaby Bay, are also of interest along with Ey Up It's Maggie.
