The veteran Lunar Deity finished runner-up over a mile here last time though has won over track and trip before. But the less exposed ALPINE MISTRAL should also stay this far having returned a wide-margin winner over a mile at Ripon last week and she can defy a penalty in a weak contest before the handicapper has his say. Volcano Bay went close over today’s trip at the same meeting at Ripon and can race off the same mark but the remainder are hard to recommend on recent form.
