Amary has failed to improve despite dropping down the weights but Always Dazzling has possibilities judged on her best form on the turf if taking to the Fibresand. EXOPUNTIA looks the safest option. A winner over a mile here last month, she had today's rival Positivity behind when runner-up last time and gets the vote with a decent claimer on board to ease her burden. Montego Breeze and Noble Attitude have shown little to recommend them here.
