Though only placed once in six runs over hurdles, MELBURNIAN has been running well enough on the Flat to merit serious consideration in this. Moore Clouds will have needed her run at Uttoxeter in June but Haveyougotmymoney has been disappointing since scoring at that track in the same month. Perth third Cuban Cigar looks best of the rest as Okavango Delta may need this and Redwood Queen looked in trouble when unseating her rider at Cartmel last time.
