Prophecy improved to finish runner-up over track and trip last month with Bob Beach back in fifth. The former should go well again but JM JACKSON looks the one to beat on her return. Rated 85 having placed in Listed company last year, Mark Johnston’s filly should have the measure of these if running anywhere near her mark. Intrinsic Bond showed progress with every start last term but has a bit to find on these terms with the selection while the returning Moon Power is expected to do better this year and the newcomer White Copper is related to several winners.
