BAYZEL (8) raced on the pace last start before fading to finish sixth, beaten 4 lengths, over 6f at York. Likely improver. PARADISE STAR (5) finished fifth last start over 6f at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Rates highly and expected to go well. BLUE CAN TALK (1) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when third over 5½f at this track, beaten 1.2 lengths. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Lisa Staples gets the best out of this four-year-old mare. Has the class to figure prominently. REBEL SQUAW (7) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 7 lengths away in eighth over 6f at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
