Senorita Rumbalita is impossible to oppose here with Don And Gerry and Colline de Fleurs rating the main dangers. The selection was disappointing last time out when third behind Treaty Flyer. However she has been given plenty of time to recover from those exertions and if she is back to her best she would eat these for breakfast. Don And Gerry rates the main danger on her latest fifth behind Sabrelight but that form has since been let down and she has plenty to find with the selection on official BHB figures. Colline de Fleurs won well last time when beating Rowlands Hill and is another with place claims but she will find this harder under her penalty. Of the remainder, Loose Morals has shown a modicum of ability in three runs to date but her future may lie in handicaps and for the winner we return to Senorita Rumbalita who will be hard to beat if back to her best.
