FRIED ASPARAGUS (3) has been in great form, winning two on end before back-to-back placings, the latest when beaten half a length into second over 6f at this track (Synthetic) when she was prominent throughout. Faces an easier assignment so she is sure to be right there at the finish. DOWNBURST (5) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten 1.1 lengths, over 1m at this track. Among the leading chances. TURIAF (2) has been freshened up since she finished fifth over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf) six-and-a-half weeks ago. Should be prominent from the outset. One of the main contenders. SHE'S SO SHINY (1) is back from a lay-off of nine weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 6f at this track (Synthetic). Makes plenty of appeal.
