Kartayaz gained his third course victory a fortnight ago, when Nevada Brave was two lengths behind, but has a 5lb rise to contend with and has never won off a mark this high. MR MILLS had shown a bit of promise on Turf before chasing home Dark Street, who runs in the previous race, last time. That was only his second start on the surface and he can improve enough to go one better. Tara Power has been well supported the last twice and hasn't been beaten far. He travelled easily into the straight last time but didn't find much at the business end. Princess Wannabee could do with a victory for the paddocks but appeared to find 1m4f more to her liking last week.
