In Salutem has only run on this track and though well beaten on his only start over the trip he's been staying on over shorter. Rockabilly Riot was a short-priced favourite here a month ago but couldn't cope with Diocesan Policy with Reckless Lad, who was making his debut, not far behind. COQUETTE NOIR has progressed with each run and was caught right on the line over this trip at Gowran. She looks the one to be on though Elusive Ice made her debut over the track and trip in November and was only caught in the shadow of the post.
