Happywifehappylife showed up well on Turf last summer but has her first start on this surface after a poor run over hurdles. Sunwalk hasn’t been beaten far in any of his seven starts though he’s been an expensive failure the last twice here. Gold Wing is 0-11 and was also a beaten favourite in a similar standard race to this last time when in front of New Moon Rising but behind IS THAT SO. The latter was a 200/1 chance after showing nothing earlier but produced a much-improved performance and a similar effort can see her home.
