Queenie's Home sets the standard with an official rating of 73 and may well figure on her Fibresand debut. It will be no surprise if Outback Warrior and Alba Verde improve from their recent debut efforts but WESTMINSTER gets a speculative vote representing a trainer with a good strike rate at this track. Ventura Reef and Rio Ranger are newcomers to note, especially the former who is a half-brother to six winners and expected to go well.
