A competitive handicap with six having won their latest starts. Polytrack winner Charles Fosterkane returns from a lay-off and Golden Creek faces different conditions here having won a Southwell claimer. Ice Buster and Electra Star make their handicap debuts and are open to improvement, while Oetzi is 5lb higher for scoring at Warwick recently. Dunhoy also looks a threat dropped in class and should figure, but the vote goes to MUNDANA, who landed the odds in a Salisbury maiden last time and looks set to go on to better things now she's got her head in front.
