Resplendent Alpha won a seller here on Wednesday but a 6lb penalty may be his undoing and Conducting has a bit to prove over today's distance after going close over 1m2f last time. Mcbirney showed signs of a return to form when runner-up at this track in October and Wordiness hasn't been beaten that far on his last couple of starts though he's yet to win. A chance is taken on ICY QUIET on her first start since May as she finished a respectable fourth on the Polytrack earlier and may improve on her first start for David O'Meara.
