Rocky Dreams is a five-times track winner though his stable look to have a better chance with Tai Sing Yeh, who gained his third victory here when making all for a comfortable success last week. Inflection Point has continued in fine form since scoring in December though is now 12lb higher but Gobi Star has been in good form since landing a claimer here in November and has been given a chance by the handicapper. Little Queenie has only won once but is rarely beaten far while the three-year-old CATHERINE OF SIENA has been progressing fast and though taking on older horses for the first time has the pace to complete a course hat-trick.
