Storm Eric has been raised 8lb for a battling victory over International Lady and a big run for the latter in the previous race would point to his chances. Five-times track winner Skontonovski has been racing exclusively over a mile while Indiana Grey has also been running over that trip recently. The latter won over this trip in February but is 10lb higher. CIRCLES (NAP) completed a course and distance double in February and shot up the weights. She has now dropped to a winnable mark and showed a bit more dash last week so gets the vote.
