Timia, one of three entries from her yard, completed a double here in November and was nowhere near her best when a long way last in January. Hope Lake has changed stables and never raced over a trip this short but has been showing good pace up to today's distance and must be in with a shout. NIVVO is another dropping down in trip for the first time but was always in the front rank when landing a maiden over a mile last month so should be suited. Flawlessly has had 16 runs in her career, all over the minimum, so it's a surprise to see her taking such a leap in distance.
