Monivea has been performing at a high level without really threatening and will be suited by racing in a small field again as she beat just five rivals when last successful a year ago. Kaitlins Joy was in cracking form on fast ground at this time last year and has been running reasonably well in tough handicaps but Shaimaa hasn't won since last spring and she's had plenty of chances. JULIE'S JET is by Cape Cross out of a mare who landed a Grade 2 over 1m4f in the USA. She made a very impressive debut on this track last October and though her long absence is an obvious concern she has the potential to go on to better things.
