Joseph O'Brien has three entries with Sweetasever the only one of the trio with a recent run under her belt. She didn't get the best of runs behind Rock In Peace last time and should get into the action. Her stable companion Circus Ring didn't show much in his first campaign but his pedigree suggests he can improve this season. SHEISDIESEL will be having her first start over this trip but she's been staying on over 7f so should be suited and gets the vote. Steelyeyed ran her best race to date over 7f here last time and normal improvement can see her in the frame but Hailstone looked to have a better chance in the maiden earlier on the card.
