DAME CATHERINE (1) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 14 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1m1/4f at Parx, beaten 6 lengths. Has the talent to feature in the finish. ALMA PURA (4) broke through for her maiden win over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Shaping up nicely and she is worth including. COMPASS RISES (7) ran below expectations last time at this track (Turf), finishing fifth and beaten 3 lengths starting at 9/2. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. CHILLING FACTOR (13) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
