In a large field of uninspiring types, Annijaz stands out against potential rivals Chorus and Komena. With Milton Bradley's sprinters in form of late, it would not be a surprise if Annijaz trotted up here after her expected win at Yarmouth. She was sent off favourite there after nearly causing a 33-1 shock here at Bath on her first run of the season. She is in such good form that it is hard to escape her claims off what is still a very decent mark. Chorus comes from a stable suddenly hitting form again and has run one or two good races in defeat this term. Komena gets a two pound pull with the selection for a beating of a couple of lengths at Yarmouth and with Richard Quinn taking over from the young girl whose been on board lately, a big run is on the cards. Bells Beach has bits and pieces of placed form but the rest look up against it.
