DAVANA is still without a win but not from want of trying and she gets the nod. Placed on her last three starts here between 1m4f and 1m6f, she is given another chance to finally get off the mark. Capable Guest still looks up to winning a contest of this nature on his day and Zed Candy could also go well judged on the pick of his form. Mister Pete, Bateau Bleu and Diktalina were all placed over hurdles on their latest outings and are others to consider.
