AVOIR (3) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MS MCWHINNEY (9) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished fourth after being prominent at the bend at her last appearance over 1m at this track (Turf) on February 17. Well placed on this occasion and gets her chance to break the ice. DISCREPANCY (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was always well out of her ground over 1m at this track, beaten 19 lengths into fourth. This is a nice drop in grade so she can find the winners' list. TOULOUSE DETRAC (1) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but weakened to finish sixth over 7f at this track (Dirt). Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
