DOITWITHDIAMONDS (1) has returned in good order this campaign. Ran well but found one better last time over 7¼f at this track after registering her maiden win when resuming the run before. Should be prominent from the outset. Among the leading chances. PRINCESS ILARIA (2) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at her last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1m at Vaal when beaten 1.3 lengths. Has the speed to overcome the draw. Sure to be in the finish. COURAGEOUS (4) finished fifth last time out over 1m at Vaal, beaten 5.5 lengths. Has a win and three placings at this journey from six starts. Credentials hard to fault. CERULEAN DANCER (5) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 6½f at Vaal, finishing fourth and beaten 2.25 lengths. Sure to be thereabouts.
