Herrera has won over today's distance but was well beaten on turf last time. She may be capable of better having only her second outing on the all-weather but a chance is taken on CARLTON SCROOP. He's won nine times on the Polytrack at up to 1m6f and should stay the longer trip. Carnac's sole all-weather win came on Fibresand and Holden Eagle is still a maiden after 22 starts. Santera has done all her winning over hurdles, but could still prove best of the remainder.
