After The Storm went close once again over 1m4f here last month. He'd earlier finished just ahead of Shalianzi when runner-up at this track and they meet on the same terms today. With that pair closely matched, a chance is taken on CONSERVE. Placed on her last couple of outings on the Polytrack, she is expected to appreciate today's longer trip. Candesta and She's A Honey are others to note among the more lightly-raced types though they've both got some improving to do to get involved.
