Enticing, Lady Livius and Sierra Vista look the three to concentrate on in this listed affair and the vote is given to Enticing. The selection was a fair third behind Alzerra in a Group 3 when last seen and this represents a drop in class. Under conditions that suit, she need only run up to that mark to win this with plenty in hand. Lady Livius rates the main danger as she won a handicap in good style when accounting for Qadar. This looks tougher and she will need to improve again if she is to defeat the selection. Sierra Vista would be a danger to all on her best form but she disappointed last time out for no apparent reason and cannot be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder, Empress Jain is from a shrewd in-form yard and could go well at a price, but she will do well to give weight and a beating to the selection, which is Enticing.
