TALE OF THE LYON (4) had been racing well with three consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 5½f at this track. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Will play a major role. PERFECTINGTHEVIEW (6) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but with added fitness she is capable of a big performance. CLIFTONS BALLERINA (7) finished 12 lengths adrift in sixth last time at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. MOST ADORABLE (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on December 9 when beaten 12 lengths into fourth at this track (Dirt) over 6f after being in the firing line on the corner. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time.
