Heer's Sadie completed a double over 7f on fast ground here before failing to overcome a slow start on her hat-trick bid on a return visit. She should have no problems with the longer trip nor should GALILEO GLASS, who is on a long losing run but has dropped to a mark he's capable of winning from. Arlo's Sunshine ran well enough over the track and trip last time to be considered while Rhubarb Bikini pops up every now and then and his rider's claim is a plus.
