This looks a better race than the one won by Musical Stardust last time but the Hales inmate is expected to be a leading contender off a 4lb higher mark. The booking of O'Neill Jr inevitably takes the eye. Ginjo has gone well the last twice, including round here and is also expected to figure prominently but DEFINITE WINNER showed notable improvement to oblige at Ffos Las last time and hopefully can produce a similar performance on an admittedly very different track. She looked to win with something in hand the last day and can defy a 7lb rise in the weights. Chilli Romance is respected off topweight and should be getting her head in front sometime soon.
