Verdict

CACHE QUEEN is 9lb higher than when successful over the track and trip but she's continued in excellent form and only just failed to carry her big weight to victory over 1m4f last month. Ally Cay wasn't far behind in that latter contest though that could be her trip while Spelga gave notice of an imminent victory when a close fourth last month and battled to his maiden success last week though a 9lb rise makes this tougher. Hidden Spark has been racing over a mile and has yet to prove she stays this far while Sharjah continues his quest for a tenth course victory, as he has been doing since March of last year. Magi Gal is improving and closely matched with the selection on their 1-2 here in September so should get into contention.
