HOT RIGHT NOW is proving well suited to this surface. Well beaten on Turf and the Polytrack, she's won both starts here including when making all over course and distance last time. Karl Burke's filly is preferred to Emperatriz, who failed to follow-up her earlier course win off a 5lb higher mark last month. A dual winner at Wolverhampton, True Pleasure has yet to race on the Fibresand, but Imaginary World has won at this track and finished closer when runner-up on her latest outing. Carlanda has won in France but is hard to assess on her first start for Mike Appleby.
