Gale Force Maya is looking for a return to her best having beaten Pink Crystal when winning this last year. The latter was beaten by Radio Goo Goo in a handicap at York in June but should turn the tables on more favourable terms while Queen Me has raced exclusively at the highest level so far this year having placed in a Group 3 at last year’s Western meeting here. FUNNY STORY (NAP) is still improving judged on a neck defeat at Pontefract by subsequent Group 1 third Believing and Ralph Beckett’s filly is taken to come out best in this. Irish challenger Aussie Girl could go well and has the beating of Secret Angel but Marine Wave has a bit to find with a couple of these.
