Cool Hand Luke finished runner-up over 7f here in August and would figure if producing a similar effort on his return to action. But Roedean has the more recent form having also finished second over 7f at this track a week ago with Homeward Strut well behind. Little Red Minx and Tigresa have shown no worthwhile form as of yet, however, so FROSTY BERRY is preferred. She's related to three winners and, given she won't have have to be anything special to land this on her debut, Marco Botti's filly gets a tentative vote.
