PRECOCIOUS AIR looked to have been found a perfect winning opportunity last time but yet again found one too good. This race looks no better and she can score at the sixth attempt. This is the shortest trip over which Precocious Air has ever raced but she does show enough early pace which will enable her to lie up early on. Trigger McCann drops into this grade for the first time having landed a nursery last time. Top rated in the race, a re-production of that run has to see him involved. Common Diva and Sally's Dilemma are the two others that make the shortlist. Common Diva's form has tailed off and on that basis she could not be put forward with any confidence while Sally's Dilemma has had three outings since returning from a mid-season break and she is another who has yet to recapture the best of her form. Precocious Air is taken to finally break his maiden tag.
