Forever A Lady has won three times around here and, though out of form recently, has slipped to a winnable mark. Strong Steps is 2-51 on Turf, both victories coming here on soft ground though over a mile. Kodimoor, who completed a hat-trick in the summer of last year, has been in good form though has gone up in the ratings without winning. SIENNA DREAM won over the course and distance on soft ground a year ago. She was placed in four starts on the track in the summer before an even better run at Hamilton last time and can get back to winning ways. Perfect Soldier is 1-35 and that victory came over three years ago. Lagenda was engaged in the 6.45 at Newcastle yesterday.
