Push Me went close in a couple of starts over a mile here in February. But her previous attempts at longer distances don't inspire much confidence and IF I WERE A BOY is preferred. Third in a blanket finish over 1m4f at this track a fortnight ago, she looks set to strike back over her optimum trip. Total Obsession recorded his only win in 17 starts at this track last month but has struggled in subsequent starts off higher marks, while Cape Joy has also failed to figure in three outings since winning at Folkestone in August.
