Olympic Dream, Itsthursdayalready and Royal Island have all been running well on Polytrack with the latter scoring over a mile at Lingfield last month. However, none have any form on Fibresand to boast of and a chance is taken that NOVASTASIA can finally get off the mark. Dean Ivory's filly produced her best effort this year when a close-up fourth over 6f on her debut at this track with first-time blinkers applied and today's extra furlong is no problem. Norcroft also has form at the track if going back far enough.
