So Is She comes out best at the weights but is not the easiest of rides for an apprentice and is still a maiden after 10 starts. Ivan's A Star is proving hard to win with, although he does looks capable of reversing recent form with A Little Bit Dusty on more favourable terms. Greg Fairley could have a fight on his hands getting Veeb to settle trying a longer trip for the first time so the vote goes to the lightly-raced BILL PAGE, who is open to improvement stepping up in distance on only his third start.
