ENGLISH MISTRESS (12) was prominent from the outset when third over 1m1f at this track last time out. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best form puts her right in this. POCKET DIAL (8) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just half a length away in third over 7f at this track. Has the pace to take a forward position. Going up a level this time but she is good enough to play a major role. DOUBLE DASH (4) finished third last start over 7f at this track to make it three minor placings from four runs. Yet to miss the top-three in two runs at this venue. Sure to run well. LAVENDER BAY (6) fought on for third last start over 1m at this track, beaten 5 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
