LIEX EXCELSA is the most exposed but is rated 85 and this looks easier than her recent tasks. She gets the nod with headgear applied for the first time.

Newlyn is related to a couple of winners and is a newcomer to keep an eye on with Kevin Manning’s presence suggesting she’s preferred to stablemate Dromana.
