Dixie Gwalia was third and Blueberry Fizz fifth when Reginald Claude won over C&D last week. The top weight has a penalty now, however, and may struggle to confirm the form. Coach Montana only won by a short-head over 7f here last time and also has more to do but last week's Dundalk third Cookie Crumbles must have a good chance of ending a frustrating sequence of placed efforts and VENETIAS DREAM is another for the short-list. Stuart Williams' filly has only had four starts so should have more to offer and gets the vote here as she has the beating of Kaylee on their run together here last month.
