Sky Garden was placed in every outing last season having started favourite on all four occasions. She'll be winning before long but CELESTIAL BAY has the advantage of a recent run under her belt. Sylvester Kirk's filly was beaten a couple of lengths at Salisbury on her debut and the four-year-old gets the nod in this. Delicious Patrica, Natalia and Moonvale were all well beaten in the same contest at Doncaster last time but Dilgura ran well for second over track and trip last month and she can figure. Roanne is more exposed and it's not certain she'll improve for the drop back to 6f.
