ROSINA won last year's renewal off a similar mark and teed-up nicely for another bold bid with a narrow-margin defeat at Kempton last time. A high draw may not prove too much of an inconvenience given her hold-up style of racing and Ann Duffield's charge gets the nod. Chookie Dunedin has yet to win a handicap but slips further down the weights while Lalania has been thereabouts off similar marks. Mother of Dragons is upped in class but La Fortuna has won four of only nine outings at this venue and could go well again with Tan perhaps best of the rest.
