Musidora third TEONA has been absent since finishing unplaced in the Oaks but the Varian filly descends in grade now. She takes on both the colts and her elders for the first time but was highly regarded by connections earlier in the season. Extra Elusive and Desert Encounter have won the last two runnings of the Winter Hill on this card but have not really fired this term but Domino Darling and Fox Tal have been running well without winning. Naamoos is hard to assess.
