Aruma (1) has won three of her five career starts, never winning a race with more than six runners, a trend that can continue here.She led last start with geegees down south (2) to her outside, and despite being headed in the straight, she showed a great will to win.The runner-up has a 4.4lb swing in his favour and an inside draw this time around.Winning witness (4) comes via the same race.She was the fastest sectional closer there, but the quinella pinched a winning break on the home turn.This similarly small field doesn’t map a lot differently to that contest.Johnnie pinch (3) has been towards the head of the market in both runs back, each in maiden grade, so this is obviously a class jump.
