Not a strong race by any stretch of the imagination and Indian Steppes is the TEAMtalk choice to gain a well deserved success. The daughter of Indian Ridge has shown a consistent level of form in similar company having finished runner-up on her last three starts. Julian Poulton's filly has proved her effectiveness on an artificial surface and this pacey type shouldn't be inconvenienced by the drop back in trip. Bella Beguine boasts some respectable turf form but was well below form on her all-weather debut last time and now has something to prove. Charley Farley has a bit to find on these terms while Apollonius has had his problems and Salerno needs to improve in the first-time eye shields.
