PAPAS GIRL missed out by a nose in one of these events over track and trip when Arzaak and Mansfield dead-heated for third. The former should confirm running and is also preferred to Bluella, who placed in a handicap here last time but has a tougher task on less favourable terms. Gleaming Maize is another with something to find at the weights and Billy Dylan makes more appeal.
