Hubood and Field Finner have had just the one outing each and should finish closer here with improvement expected. Gorgeous Goblin has run her best races at this track and finished runner-up in a handicap here last Friday, while My Best Man has a second at Kempton to his credit. However, ROSA LUXEMBURG is likely to prove popular on her belated debut as she's a half-sister to three winners including this season's high-class two-year-old Frederick Engels so Bryan Smart's filly gets the vote.
