Phantasmagoric still looked green at Leicester last time but makes her handicap debut off a potentially lenient mark and improvement is anticipated. Keen Move has been placed in three of his four starts this year but that first win still eludes him. ZUBAIDAH has also proved frustrating to follow but she's gone close the last twice, including here last time, and Cam Hardie's claim can finally help her get her head in front, though Penang Paparaja couldn't have gone any closer over course and distance last time off today's mark.
