Natural Rhythm is fancied to run better now back over the minimum trip, however Lambrini Lace is progressing with every run and she gets the vote of confidence. Lisa Williamson's Namid filly has looked at home on ground with some cut in despite being out a Green Desert mare, and seems to be improving with every run. Elijah Pepper wasn't beaten far last time out and the form looks solid; he has further improvement to come and warrants respect, especially if the money comes. Newcomer Anosti represents a stable who are more than capable of getting one ready first-time out whilst Red Delight should come on for her debut effort and with nominal improvement rates a player. A toughie to begin with, however Lambrini Lace can sparkle.
